Paul Poiret (1879–1944) led the fashion world in the first decade of the twentieth century and his autobiography tells the extraordinary story of his meteoric rise to fame. From his humble Parisian childhood to his debut as a couturier, to his experiences during the First World War, Poiret reveals all in this captivating tale, first published in 1931.

An astute businessman, Poiret translated the spirit of Art Deco into revolutionary garments, and his memoir brings this astonishing period to life.

Industry Reviews
'allowing us to enjoy his gossipy insights into the haute monde of the day, he also describes the running of a couture house and the vagaries of business.' Rebecca Arnold, Times Literary Supplement, Friday 7th February 2020
