Hadley Freeman Bücher

Der unverzichtbare Leitfaden von A wie Accessoires bis V wie Vintage In diesem amüsanten Buch trennt die preisgekrönte Modekolumnistin Hadley Freeman mit Witz, Charme und Geschmack die Spreu vom Weizen in Sachen Mode und zeigt, dass man sich durchaus in eine It-Bag verlieben kann ohne notwendigerweise den IQ eines It-Girls zu haben. Auf unterhaltsame Art beschreibt sie, wie man Shorts trägt, ohne wie ein Statist in Hamlet auszusehen, warum Botox wie Kokain ist und weshalb nur Harfenistinnen Samt tragen sollten. Vor allem aber zeigt sie, dass man weder dünn noch jung, groß oder reich sein muss, um Spaß an Mode zu haben - man braucht lediglich eine gesunde Portion Humor.

After her grandmother's death, Hadley Freeman seeks to understand Sala Glass, a European expat in America whose life remained largely a mystery. Sala, known for her reserved nature and French influences, survived a tumultuous era but never spoke of her experiences. A shoebox of her cherished belongings sparks a decade-long quest for Hadley to uncover their significance and the extraordinary lives of Sala and her three brothers. This journey takes her from Picasso's archives in Paris to a hidden room in Auvergne, Long Island, and Auschwitz. By piecing together letters, photos, and an unpublished memoir, Hadley reveals the full story of the Glass siblings for the first time: Alex, a fashion couturier and friend of Dior and Chagall; Jacques, a brave patriot; and Henri, who hid in occupied France. Each sibling made remarkable efforts to survive during World War II. Alongside their acts of courage in Vichy France, Hadley uncovers her grandmother's quieter yet equally heroic form of self-sacrifice. This poignant memoir traces the Glass siblings' experiences throughout the twentieth century, exploring themes of assimilation, identity, and home—issues that resonate deeply today.

The narrative follows a writer as she delves into her family's hidden past, revealing a compelling tale that unfolds over a century. This exploration intertwines the impact of two World Wars and the experiences of three generations, offering a rich tapestry of history and personal discovery. Through her investigation, the writer uncovers the secrets that have shaped her family's identity and legacy.
