A Life in Fashion by Benjamin Wild
From the moment Cecil Beaton arrived at Cambridge University in 1922 wearing evening jacket, red shoes, black-and-white trousers, to his appearance forty years later at Truman Capote's 1970 Black and White Ball, Beaton expressed a flamboyant sartorial nonchalance - a sprezzatura. This title deals with the changes in his wardrobe over the years.
'While the images of Beaton may be in stark black and white, much of what they have to say seems bang up to date' - Sunday Herald
