Murders Couture. True Crime Stories from the World of High Fashion

The fashion world, dazzling and glamorous, has long attracted not only those who wish to conquer it — but also those who want to destroy it, out of envy or a thirst for money. Astrid Fager and Maud Gabrielson, fashion journalists with many years of experience, reveal to the reader the dark side of the fashion industry, recounting the loudest and most scandalous criminal stories related to world-famous brands and designers. The kidnapping of Calvin Klein's daughter, the mysterious death of Yves Saint Laurent's muse model Katoucha, the robbery of the Guerlain house, the murder of Maurizio Gucci in Milan — these are just some of the fascinating incidents investigated in this book. "Murders Couture" is both an intriguing true-crime thriller and a unique guide to the history of leading fashion houses with many years of history.
