In this dazzling new vision of the ever-fascinating queen, a dynamic young historian reveals how Marie Antoinette's bold attempts to reshape royal fashion changed the future of France Marie Antoinette has always stood as an icon of supreme style, but surprisingly none of her biographers have paid sustained attention to her clothes. In Queen of Fashion, Caroline Weber shows how Marie Antoinette developed her reputation for fashionable excess, and explains through lively, illuminating new research the political controversies that her clothing provoked. Weber surveys Marie Antoinette's "Revolution in Dress," covering each phase of the queen's tumultuous life, beginning with the young girl, struggling to survive Versailles's rigid traditions of royal glamour (twelve-foot-wide hoopskirts, whalebone corsets that crushed her organs). As queen, Marie Antoinette used stunning, often extreme costumes to project an image of power and wage war against her enemies. Gradually, however, she began to lose her hold on the French when she started to adopt "unqueenly" outfits (the provocative chemise) that, surprisingly, would be adopted by the revolutionaries who executed her. Weber's queen is sublime, human, and surprising: a sometimes courageous monarch unwilling to allow others to determine her destiny. The paradox of her tragic story, according to Weber, is that fashion—the vehicle she used to secure her triumphs—was also the means of her undoing. Weber's book is not only a stylish and original addition to Marie Antoinette scholarship, but also a moving, revelatory reinterpretation of one of history's most controversial figures.

- A tribute to a unique collaboration which led to Her Majesty Queen Sirikit of Thailand being voted one of the world s most beautiful and best dressed women- This beautiful book by well-known textile historian and conservateur Melissa Leventon contains photographs of all the outfits designed by Pierre BalmainIn 1960, Their Majesties King Bhumibol Adulyadej and Queen Sirikit of Thailand embarked on a historic, six-month-long state visit to 15 Western nations. Her Majesty, the first queen of Thailand to visit the West since the 1930s, anticipated that her wardrobe would receive close scrutiny from the Western press and public during the tour. Wishing to ensure that she was always appropriately dressed, and that her appearance met European and Americans sartorial expectations for royalty, Her Majesty turned to Paris, specifically to top couturier Pierre Balmain, for a regal wardrobe of daywear, cocktail and evening dress, outerwear, andaccessories that would see her through every possible occasion in all seasons. Thus began a significant two-decade-long collaboration between Queen and couturier. Balmain's designs for the Queen were simple yet sophisticated. Many were made of Thai silk, which gave Her Majesty's French clothes more than a hint of Siam. Thus clad, Her Majesty was widely acclaimed for her beauty and chic, becoming the era's epitome of royal style and a tastemaker of truly international stature. Now for the first time, photographs of many of the outfits Balmain designed for Her Majesty during their 22-year-long association, together with examples of some of the thousands of sketches made specially available from Balmain S.A. in Paris, are gathered together in this beautiful book by well-known dress historian and curator Melissa Leventon, with photographs by renowned Thai fashion photographer Nat Prakobsantisuk. The book, published in conjunction with a major exhibition mounted by the Queen Sirikit Museum of Textiles in Bangkok, is a tribute to a unique collaboration which led to Her Majesty Queen Sirikit of Thailand being voted one of the world's best dressed women.
