ADFAS Brisbane: Les Parisiennes
Les Parisiennes: How women lived, loved and died in Paris from 1939 to 1949
Les Parisiennes is a fascinating story about women’s lives during the dark years of Nazi occupation and beyond, and includes British and American women caught in Paris.
The lecture opens with a magnificent ball held by Elsie de Wolfe at the splendid Villa Trianon and ends with Christian Dior’s lavish new look in 1947 and his perfume Miss Dior named after his sister Catherine who had survived a prison camp.
Bring a guest.
Refreshments will be provided after each lecture session, morning tea after the morning lecture and wine and cheese after the evening lecture.
