Aristocrate bohème, figure de la haute société des années soixante, Jacqueline de Ribes est devenue une icône du style et un symbole de l’élégance française. Amie d’Yves Saint Laurent et de Luchino Visconti, elle a été l’un des ' Cygnes ' de Truman Capote et de Richard Avedon. Cette reconnaissance mondiale est illustrée, en 2015, par une magistrale exposition au Metropolitan Museum de New York. Son visage a été projeté en pleine lumière sur l’Empire State Building. Quelle femme et quels secrets se cachent derrière la légende de papier glacé ? Ce destin, qui voit s’achever l’ancien monde et apparaître de nouveaux codes, des innovations stupéfiantes, j’ai tenté d’en déchiffrer l’énigme. D. B.

In 1951, eighteen-year-old Lee Bouvier and her twenty-two-year-old sister Jacqueline took their first trip to Europe together. Jackie had already spent a year in France living with a French family and attending the Sorbonne. Her many cards and letters had made her sister Lee want nothing more than to see Europe with Jackie. Having convinced their parents, the two young ladies set off to see the continent. As they traveled, they sketched and kept notes, creating an illustrated journal of their time abroad, which they presented to their parents as a thank you upon their return; that delightful chronicle is ONE SPECIAL SUMMER. Join Jackie and Lee for a tantalizing glimpse of a lost world: crossing the Atlantic by ocean liner, visits with counts and ambassadors in Paris, art lessons in Venice, and white gloves in the afternoon. Smile at the social agonies all young women suffer in common--how to politely consume an oversized hors d'oeuvre, the horror of slipping undergarments, and the art of fending off unwanted romantic advances.
