The Beautiful Fall by Alicia Drake

'It was all about the cult of pleasure and beauty. Some lost their plumes, others lost their lives' - Anouchka, former model and Paris party girl
'In this fascinating read, Drake reveals the fashion industry's constant flux between in and out, right and wrong, and how Yves Saint Laurent and Karl Lagerfeld trod a rivalrous tightrope' Glamour 'This is an extremely readable and impressively researched book' Guardian 'If you have the slightest interest in late-twentieth-century culture, you should read this book' Gay Times 'Thoroughly entertaining.. Starting with the student riots of 1968 and ending with the shadow of Aids, this is an important social history' Independent on Sunday
Alicia Drake is a fashion journalist based in Paris. She writes regularly for major publications such as W, International Herald Tribune and Vogue.
