'Channel Your Inner Princess with Christian Lacroix's Fashion Fairy Tale...Christian Lacroix is one of those designers who has always been able to capture fantasy and magic and weave them into each seam and embellishment of his designs. He has teamed up with international bestselling author and fashion writer, Camilla Morton for a new twist on an old tale with Christian Lacroix and the Tale of Sleeping Beauty. The book mixes Lacroix's illustrations with Morton's descriptive writing and provides a bit of escape from the day-to-day, which we all need. The story is re-worked and Lacroix stars in it as the hero, which for many in the fashion industry, he has always been....' --Poshglam.com, February 2011

Product Description
In a contemporary, cross-generational twist on one of our favourite childhood stories, Camilla Morton - fashion journalist, international bestselling author of "How to Walk in High Heels", and John Galliano's "Girl Friday" - invites a legend from the fashion world to tell his life story in fairytale format. In this book, Camilla re-tells the story of "Sleeping Beauty" with beloved French designer Christian Lacroix as the prince, tracing the arc of his career from his early days in haute couture to the opening of his eponymous fashion house. In a whimsical twist, Lacroix's damsel is not in need of a kiss, but a fashion makeover. Accompanied by gorgeous 4-color illustrations drawn by Lacroix himself and fit to the individual scenes in the text, this story romanticizes and puts into fairytale form Lacroix's awe-inspiring career in fashion. The result is an intriguing combination of whimsy and memoir. Illuminating Lacroix's creative magic, this book is both a new twist on the well-worn fashion biography and a new take on one of our oldest fairytales. Printed in a glossy, collectible format, this book is the perfect gift to give, share, and collect. Aspirational and inspirational, pairing well-loved classics with well-known names, Camilla's fairytale memoirs will whisk you away with their own versions of "Once Upon a Time".

Format:Hardcover
This is a re-working of the tale of Sleeping Beauty intertwined with the life story of fashion designer Christian Lacroix. Camilla Morton has created a charming, and sometimes dark, story that will appeal to fashionistas and lovers of fairytales. With illustrations by Christian Lacroix, this book is well worth the cover price!
