How To Be Parisian Wherever You Are

Four fabulous, smart, savvy French women offer up their highly amusing insider take on Parisian life, love, and liberty.

How to Be Parisian Wherever You Are brilliantly deconstructs the French woman's views on culture, fashion, and attitude. Unlike other books on French style, this illustrated handbook is full of wit and self-deprecating humour.

Authors Anne Berest, Audrey Diwan, Caroline de Maigret, and Sophie Mas are bohemian free-thinkers and iconoclasts. They are not afraid to cut through some of the myths. They say what you don't expect to hear, just the way you want to hear it. They are not against smoking in bed, and are all for art, politics, and culture, making everything look easy, and going against the grain.

Including 80 black and white and colour pictures, many taken by the authors, How to Be Parisian Wherever You Are explains those confusing subjects of clothes, makeup, men, culture, and lifestyle as only a true Parisienne can.

On the style front: you don't always have to be made up, but you should always be well dressed. Your look should always have one thing left undone - the devil is in the detail. Either go all grey hair or no grey hair. Salt and pepper hair becomes a chic statement, embodying the effortless elegance of the quintessential Parisienne.
