Paris, 1860, la fête impériale bat son plein et un Anglais, Charles Frederick Worth, va révolutionner la manière dont les femmes s’habillent en société.Arrivé une quinzaine d’années auparavant en France comme simple apprenti, il sera le premier à proposer des modèles originaux de robes confectionnés à partir des tissus qu’il aura sélectionnés, devenant ainsi le fondateur de la haute couture parisienne.Mais cette réussite est aussi celle de son épouse Marie : avant elle, il n’y avait pas de mannequins, ni de défilé de mode. Et sans son entregent doublé d’une détermination toute auvergnate, jamais la maison Worth n’aurait connu le succès mondial qui fut le sien.L’impératrice Eugénie, consciente de devoir briller pour assurer sa légitimité, confie à Charles Worth sa garde-robe et deviendra bien plus qu’une muse : une égérie et une confidente.Leurs destins entrelacés font de ce livre un récit captivant, mêlant mode et politique, scandales et éblouissements, entre bals aux Tuileries et promenades sur les Grands Boulevards.Grâce à un accès unique aux archives de la famille, aux coupures de presse de l’époque et aux nombreux Mémoires des clientes de la maison Worth, Stephen Clarke raconte la véritable histoire de cet enfant pauvre du nord de l’Angleterre qui a façonné les silhouettes des femmes du XIXe siècle, faisant ainsi de Paris la capitale mondiale de la mode.Écrivain et journaliste, lui aussi Anglais de Paris, Stephen Clarke est l’auteur de nombreux ouvrages sur ce que l’Angleterre a apporté à la France (et réciproquement...).
