The book’s character reveals itself starting with the cover. Sobre, red with red lettering gathered on the top left hand side on a heavy but soft leather-like paper it hints to timeless elegance and high style, while the heavy, velvety pages, the rounded edges, the photography and the layouts are a clin d’ oeil to modern blog culture.
La Parisienne is a book you will want to keep nearby and come back to it often. Every article reads with the flow and ease of a favorite blog. The content is original, including hand drawn sketches by Ines herself, written in a caring, loving manner.
An added bonus is the collaboration of Ines’ daughter, Nine, who models the book’s fashions. How clever of Mme de la Fressange to find someone who is so much her, without that person being her much celebrated self! Nine d’ Urso has the peppery beauty of her mother mixed with the sweet melancholy of her late father’s Italian features.
The book covers fashion, style and beauty, interiors and food, with original ideas and tips written with wit and that elusive Parisian attitude.
Required reading for mothers and daughters alike.
