ReviewsWhat a great idea for a book! Santoni dedicates each chapter to one of her stylish French friends 'e" interviews them, has them photographed and she tells us why they are so interesting and so dear to her. Wonderful! I loved it. Really loved it. It was fun to read that, after the interviews, when the twenty stylish French women met, some of them coincidentally knew each other or owned artworks, dresses, champagne that the others had created...This was a beautiful book to read and to savor the beautiful, beautiful photos. How fabulous! Enjoy., What a great idea for a book!
