Paris, 1909 to 1972. Gabrielle Chanel sells hats in a borrowed apartment, Cristobal Balenciaga sews in San Sebastian, and Christian Dior is a boy in Granville who will not inherit the family fertilizer money. Between them they build the three houses that decide what the word luxury means, and none of the three is paid by the clothes. The dresses lose money on purpose. The money arrives from a perfume company the founder does not control, from a cotton magnate's checkbook, from paper patterns sold to the stores that will copy them, and from a signature rented out by the year to stocking makers in Ohio. This is an account of how a garment became a license, and of what the founders gave up to make it one. Covers Gabrielle Chanel, Cristobal Balenciaga, Christian Dior, Chanel, Balenciaga, and Dior.
