A charming, illustrated gift book combining two timelessly stylish
subjects â Audrey Hepburn and the city of Paris. Both classic,
both inimitable, both fashion icons â Audrey Hepburn and Paris
are a match made in heaven. Falling in love with the city at a
young age, Audrey returned to Paris again and again in some of her
most celebrated films (Sabrina, Funny Face, How to Steal a Million,
Charade) wearing outfits from her favourite Parisian couturier,
Hubert de Givenchy, and creating some of the most significant
fashion moments of the twentieth century. Audrey in Paris brings
together over 100 stunning photographs of her most iconic moments
in the city, from film stills and behind the scenes shots to candid
images of Audrey enjoying the city as a visitor. The book also
includes fun tips on exploring Audrey's Paris yourself, along with
an illustrated map showing her favourite spots. While dozens of
successful books on Audrey have been published, this will be the
first to document her time in the city of light. Tapping into
Audrey's status as a fashion idol, which spans across the
generations, as well as Paris's status as the world's capital of
elegance, Audrey in Paris combines the gifty charm of How to be
Parisian Wherever You Are with Audrey's forever appeal as a fashion
muse. Gorgeous finishes will make this a stylish gift book to be
treasured for years to come.

When war was declared in September 1939, young people around the
world were expected to put on a uniform and fight in a conflict not
of their making. They may have been dressed in regulation khaki or
air force blue, or restricted by rationing, but driven by angst,
patriotism and survival, they took every opportunity to express
themselves by adapting their clothing. Away from the war their
lives were shaped by swing music and its fashions, allowing
individualism to flourish despite repression and offering a
rebellious reaction to the fearful sound of jackboots marching in
unison. It was a time of new identities, factions and hierarchies.
From the British Tommies and the American GIs, to the 'Glamour
Boys' of the RAF, the 'Spitfire Girls' of the ATA and members of
the French Resistance, Kitted Out is a fresh take on the history of
the Second World War through a fashionable eye. The poignant and
inspiring stories behind the uniforms, styles and self-expression
in Britain, the United States, North Africa and occupied Europe
will be painfully resonant to a new generation of young people.
With lots of practical advice, this lively, accessible guide
explains how we can stay healthy. Covering everything from diet,
exercise and hormones to mental health, hygiene and sleep, this is
an essential book for young people and includes links to websites
to find out more.
Rome in the 1950s: following the darkness of fascism and Nazi
occupation during the Second World War, the city is reinvigorated.
The street cafes and nightclubs are filled with movie stars and
film directors as Hollywood productions flock to the city to film
at Cinecitta Studios. Fiats and Vespas throng the streets, and the
newly christened paparazzi mingle with tourists enjoying la dolce
vita. It is a time of beauty, glamour - and more than a little
scandal. Caroline Young explores the city in its golden age, as the
emergence of celebrity journalism gave rise to a new kind of
megastar. They are the ultimate film icons: Ava Gardner, Anna
Magnani, Sophia Loren, Audrey Hepburn, Ingrid Bergman and Elizabeth
Taylor. Set against the backdrop of the stunning Italian capital,
the story follows their lives and loves on and off the camera, and
the great, now legendary, films that marked their journeys. From
the dark days of the Second World War through to the hedonistic
hippies in the late 1960s, this evocative narrative captures the
essence of Rome - its beauty, its tragedy and its creativity -
through the lives of those who helped to recreate it.
