From artists to intellectuals, fashion designers, literature, music and screen legends, French artistic history is one of the richest on earth. And if you think that’s all, you’re absolutely wrong! In fact, as fashion gurus, we know that French style and notion of chic speak for themselves.

In this release entitled “French Style”, Berenice Baudry – who was born in Argentina and raised in France – explores the country’s best innovations, from universal human rights to the bikini, archetypal fictional characters, gastronomic delights and nouvelle vague cinema. It’s through rich and dynamic photographs that the author tackles everything that sets this culture apart. Think haute couture, pop stars and scientific advancements documented in a sophisticated and chic style… the French way!

Lavishly illustrated, fun, informal and surprisingly informative, this must-have book brings to life the savoir faire and joie de vivre of the French style.
