A window on the world’s most stylish city, with profiles of 20 diverse and inspiring Parisian women accompanied by gorgeous full-colour photographs by model and fashion designer Jeanne Damas, and Lauren Bastide, former editor-in-chief of French Elle. ‚We’ve always been crazy in love with this city. . . We love its arrogance, its clumsiness, its simplicity. And especially the women who live here.‘ In Paris dispels the myth that there is only one type of Parisian woman, and offers a rare glimpse of the city that real Parisiennes live in – taking us into their homes, their careers, their style – and what being Parisian means to them. Profiles of twenty real-life women of Paris – artists, activists, booksellers, and filmmakers, aged fourteen to seventy, living in tiny attic studios, grand apartments, or houseboats – are accompanied by more than 100 full-colour photographs by Jeanne herself as well as tips on secret Parisian hideaways and the French art de vivre: from the five types of red wine to order depending on the occasion, and the bars to drink them in, to the best red lipsticks, and places to be kissed. Witty, elegant, and modern, In Paris reveals the secret to living like a Parisian, wherever and whoever you are. ‚I loved it – so French and so cool‘ Alexandra Fullerton, author of How to Dress ‚For many admirers, it is Ms. Damas who represents the ultimate in French girl chic . . . . Her new book serves as a love letter to Paris . . . [and] is sprinkled with quirky, authoritative guidelines on Paris living‘ Wall Street Journal
