Chic, sexy, & sophisticated, Femme Fatale pays tribute to a century of feminine glamour. Invoking not only iconic beauties like Jean Harlow, Brigitte Bardot, & Marilyn Monroe but also the looks that defined each decade from the 1900s to the new millennium, celebrity stylist Serge Normant crafts clothes, setting, hair, & makeup to transform today's most beautiful women. He re-creates Julia Roberts as Louise Brooks, & Cindy Crawford as a forties glamour goddess, a savvy paparazzi-stalked nineties superstar, & a twenties ingenue. Elizabeth Hurley frolics as a flower child & vamps as Mata Hari. Isabella Rossellini is a curvaceous fifties pinup & an eighties punk. And Britney Spears exudes all the poise of Grace Kelly. This lavish exploration of fashion history, imagination, & stylish beauty carries with it Bridget Foley's cultural survey of each decade--from social & political issues to art movements & key style makers. Beauty, fashion, celebrity, & photography mavens will all love Femme Fatale--and so will every woman who has ever fantasized about looking like a star.Normant, Serge is the author of 'Femme Fatale - Serge Normant - Hardcover' with ISBN 9780670030279 and ISBN 0670030279.
