The Disappearance of Astrid Bricard -- Natasha Lester

<p><b>"<i>Vogue</i> meets<i> Daisy Jones & the Six</i>," says <i>New York Times </i>bestseller Kate Quinn, in this bold novel of feminism and fashion set in 1970s New York City and the historic designers' showdown in Versailles.</b> <p/> Everyone remembers her daringly short, silver lamé dress. It was an iconic photo capturing an electric moment, where emerging American designer Astrid Bricard is young, uninhibited, and on the cusp of fashion and feminism's changing landscape. She and fellow designer Hawk Jones are all over <i>Vogue</i> magazine and New York City's disco scene. Yet she can't escape the shadow of her mother, Mizza Bricard, infamous "muse" for Christian Dior. Astrid would give anything to take her place among the great houses of couture--on her own terms. <i>I won't inspire it when I can create it.</i> <p/> But then Astrid disappeared... <p/> Now Astrid's daughter, Blythe, holds what remains of her mother and grandmother's legacies. Of all the Bricard women, she can gather the torn, painfully beautiful fabrics of three generations of heartbreak to create something that will shake the foundations of fashion. The only piece missing is the one question no one's been able to answer: What really happened to Astrid? </p><br><br><b>Author:</b> Natasha Lester<br><b>Publisher:</b> Forever<br><b>Published:</b> 01/30/2024<br><b>Pages:</b> 464<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Hardcover<br><b>Weight:</b> 1.48lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 9.00h x 6.40w x 1.60d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9781538706954<br
