ISBN: 1851775994

Not only is the Victoria and Albert Museum in London hosting on of the largest quilt exhibitions ever in the UK at present, they are also holding an enchanting exhibition opening in April 2010.
Beautifully illustrated and filled with delicious photographs, this book is the first to look exclusively at Grace Kelly’s unique style. The exhibition and book introduce Grace’s glamorous wardrobe, including such fashion icons as Chanel, Madame Gres, Yves Saint Laurent, and Christian Dior.
Grace Kelly (1929-1982) was as much renowned for her for her style and beauty as for her acting. Women the world over emulated her classic style.
When Grace married Prince Rainier of Monaco in 1956, she was further thrown into the spotlight and the marriage cemented her as a fashion icon of her generation and beyond.
The book is simply laid out and beautifully produced. It is as much about the designers as about Grace herself, providing insights and details of the dresses themselves. Even if you don’t sew clothes you will be thrilled by the beautiful cuts and 1950’s style exhibited.
