From one of the great bon vivants of our age comes this witty, abundantly illustrated memoir of a life lived among a glittering social set. The creator of Pret-a-Porter, Marc Rosen shares stories of his encounters with the great beauties, talents, and personalities of the last 50 years. As Rosen recounts, he has rubbed shoulders with Hollywood royalty (Helen Hayes, Bette Davis, and his own wife, Arlene Dahl, for whom Technicolor was invented), actual royalty (Princess Grace of Monaco, the Romanovs), and fashion moguls (Charles Revson, Karl Lagerfeld).
