520 A daughter's homage to the extraordinary lives of two
fascinating, irrepressible people who were larger than
life emblems of a bygone age. Tatiana du Plessix, Russian
wife of a French diplomat, and Alexander Liberman, a
gifted magazine editor and aspiring artist, lived as part
of the artistic Russian émigré community in Paris in the
1930s. The two began a passionate affair and fled to New
York with Tatiana's young daughter, Francine. There they
rose to the top of high society, holding court to the
midcentury's intellectuals and entertainers, friends like
Marlene Dietrich, Salvador Dalí, and the publishing tycoon
Condé Nast. Tatiana became an icon of New York fashion,
and the hats she designed for Saks Fifth Avenue were de
rigueur for stylish women everywhere. Liberman eventually
came to preside over the Condé Nast empire. The glamorous
life they shared was both creative and destructive and was
marked by an exceptional bond forged out of their highly
charged love and raging self-centeredness.--From publisher
