Summary:
The American decorator
Elsie
de
Wolfe
(1858 - 1950) was the international set's preeminent hostess in
Paris
during the interwar years. She had a legendary villa in Versailles, where in the late 1930s she held two fabulous parties, her Circus Balls, that marked the end of the social scene that her friend Cole Porter perfectly captured in his songs, as the clouds of war swept through Europe. The story of these glamorous parties, including 170 black-and-white and color images and a large cast of aristocrats, beauties, politicians, fashion designers, movie stars, moguls, artists, caterers, florists, party planners, and decorators. A landmark work of social history and a poignant vision of a vanished world.
