In Paris, love never goes out of style...
It's a mystery that has passed into fashion legend: the perfect evening gown that was to be created by couture star Elisabeth Fontaine before her tragic death in 1930. Its design, a closely guarded secret, has never been found.
So when vintage fashion dealer Isabelle Bernard comes across an enigmatic letter from Fontaine mentioning the 'evening sketches', she's very excited. Hot on the trail, she heads to Paris to investigate, fetching up on the doorstep of couture apprentice Romy Valence. Romy, who's left a high-powered career to follow her dream of fashion design, is struggling with her course and her family's disapproval. But the arrival of Isabelle, with her intriguing questions, makes Romy's life take a thrilling new turn. Meanwhile, celebrated fashion writer Audrey Oliver is in Paris to research a book about the fashion designers of the 1920's. It's inspired by her French great-grandmother Alice's stories of her time as a fashion illustrator in Elisabeth Fontaine's heyday. Audrey knows it's going to be a great story, but she has no idea just how extraordinary it's going to be...
A compelling, intriguing, romantic novel set in contemporary Paris against a background of timeless French fashion.
