Kelly Doust Livres

For the mothers, aunts and grandmothers of Rebel Girls, this is the handbook to ageing like a pro

In "Precious Things," the lives of Aimee in 1891 Normandy and Zephyr in 1926 Shanghai intertwine through a beaded collar. In modern-day London, auctioneer Maggie discovers the collar and embarks on a journey to uncover its past while navigating her own challenges in marriage and family, ultimately realizing the true value of what she already has.

A personal, entertaining, exquisitely illustrated exploration of the significance of clothes, filtered through one woman's life-long sartorial infatuation  A seductive mix of memoir, philosophies, and fantasies, this is a book for those who love clothes and find fashion beguiling, fickle, and fabulous. For as long as she can remember, Kelly Doust has been passionate about clothes. They are her first, and most enduring, love affair to date. Like many women, she adores the playfulness of fashion and its endless ability to transform. She loves the ritual and drama of getting dressed, assuming different identities in different outfits, and exploring the many facets of her personality. She buys far too many glossy magazines, and puzzles over how she can spend half her life shopping and yet still find herself with nothing to wear. Over the years, clothes have comforted her, given her confidence, lured lovers, made her invisible, secured jobs, aged her, and given back her youth. And yes, they have betrayed her. This is one woman's charming analysis of her fascinating relationship with what she wears.

Do you browse through vintage clothes at flea markets and wish you had the knack to breathe new life into dated smocks, flares and kaftans? This book can help you transform those items and, in fact, anything that has been sitting in the back of your wardrobe, waiting for a reinvention.
