Scheduled for release on January 18, 2024, this 288-page book, priced at €19.95, plunges readers into the fascinating and sometimes little-known world of haute couture, through the life story of Colette Maciet, an emblematic figure in this art form.
Colette Maciet, whose career began at Chanel under Coco Chanel, quickly established herself as a key player in haute couture. Her talent and determination led her to work with such illustrious names as Hanae Mori, Hubert de Givenchy, Yves Saint Laurent, Jean Paul Gaultier and Nina Ricci.

This book is not only the story of one woman’s rise through the ranks of haute couture, but also the story of an era and an industry in constant evolution. The author shares her experiences and anecdotes, offering a unique glimpse behind the scenes of fashion, the glories and dramas that play out behind the sumptuous creations the public admire on the catwalk.
This book promises to be a must-read for fashion enthusiasts and those interested in the history and behind-the-scenes of French haute couture.
