MakeMyBeauty Christmas “it” list, Bals by Nicholas Foulkes
For those who still dream of being a princess, or pecking costume ideas or just for your own pleasure, I recommend this wonderful book.
Bals written by the British historian and journalist Nicholas Foulkes tells the best costume balls of the last century. Mythical ball held in the most incredible places by most unexpected people.
Balls tells about those extraordinary parties:
The ball of the Romanovs, la Mille et deuxième Nuit of Paul Poiret, the Black and White Ball of Truman Capote, the surrealist ball or the Proust Ball, given both the Baron and Baroness Guy de Rothschild (the Baronness chosen to appear head hidden behind a deer's head ...). It reveals the amazing photos of Brigitte Bardot in a Scheherazade, an imperial Salvador Dali, to Zizi Jeanmaire arrived on a camel in Cuevas Ball, Peter Sellers in a new age guru, Andy Warhol, Frank Sinatra, Mia Farrow, a concert Rolling Stones gave the ball at the Prince and Princess Loewenstein ...
I let you discover in video the story of the Winter Palace Ball in St. Petersburg, probably one of the most sumptuous and memorable:
