1940, Paris.


The capital of fashion is in fear of the threat of war, and all high society tries to hold every ball as if it were the last.

Swirling in this splendor, Lily decides to stay in Paris and settles into Elsa Schiaparelli's boutique, caught between two fires: on the one hand, the eccentric Schiaparelli, on the other, the ascetic, but striving for luxury Coco Chanel. Everyone has their own destiny, their own preferences in clothes and their own men.

Two completely different women, united by a passion for their work, each changed the world in her own way.


"A witty, heartfelt and fascinating look at the infamous rivalry between Coco Chanel and Elsa Schiaparelli, unfolding against the backdrop of an exciting period of history. Makin's powerful novel brings these characters to life and captivates the reader, combining the fun and tension of pre-war Paris.

This amazing book is perfect for reading by both lovers of historical literature and fans of fashion." — Chanel Cliton, author of the bestseller "Next Year in Havana"
