Review "A new book, Brigitte Bardot: My life in Fashion, written by Jean-Henri Servat -- the only journalist to have sustained a close rapport with Bardot throughout her life -- examines her ability to spark a fashion revolution, with extensive commentary from the legend herself. Alongside photographs that capture all of her key looks, from ballerina slippers with sweeping skirts to figure-hugging knitwear, gingham fabrics, to gypsy dresses, Bardot explains the context of the often ground-breaking looks she wore, and their lasting allure." --Harper's Bazaar"This elegant retrospective takes us through [Bardot's] most classic looks from a shirt slipped off her shoulders to her feline flick of eyeliner. My Life In Fashion includes an extremely rare interview in which Bardot tells us how she put her stamp on style, and, as expected, the glamorous photographs that accompany it are as show-stopping as ever." --Daily Mail"With 300 pages of images, including private, personal photographs, Brigitte Bardot traces the influence of this actress in unbelievable detail, complete with a host of great interviews with Sylvie Vartan, Marisa Berenson, Hubert de Givenchy, among others, as well as the legend herself." --Tory Burch Blog From the Inside Flap Legendary actress Brigitte Bardot led fashion revolutions throughout her career; this retrospective includes BB's comments on her iconic style in a rare, intimate interview. Brigitte Bardot is a style icon whose legacy has undeniably shaped the face of fashion as we know it. She was discovered by a magazine editor at only 14 years old, her career blossomed as the world emerged from the ashes of World War II. She found fame and admiration on the big screen in the 1950s and then became the fiery sex symbol of the groovy and liberated 1960s. Over the course of her career, all of the great French designers-including Christian Dior, Pierre Balmain, and Pierre Cardin-outfitted Bardot on- and offscreen. In photographs that capture her attending receptions by Queen Elizabeth II and Charles de Gaulle or on glamorous visits to the United States, in fashion shoots and on film sets, or relaxing on a grassy field, this volume illustrates all the key looks that BB wore and brought to the international spotlight as she invented and edited her own highly imitated style. In an extensive-and extremely rare-interview, accompanied by her personal comments on the photographs, Bardot explains the context of the often vanguard fashions she wore, making headlines wherever she went. Evoking French style and the glamour of St. Tropez, her legacy endures-from ballerina slippers with sweeping skirts to figure-hugging knitwear, gingham fabrics and gypsy dresses, kohl eyeliner and tousled hair.
