The Designer | 
I didn‘t finish it. Somehow I missed in the book description that this was a trashy romance novel. I got to chapter 10, living in hopes that I‘d not wasted my money. But then I realized the theme of this book wasn‘t history or fashion. It was sex and bad decisions. And it wasn‘t gonna get any better. It was ...well...icky in my opinion. Now, that being said ...if you are looking for a trashy romance novel that is pretty well written, this is it!
Christian Dior features in this historical romance. #dress #reallyrandomfebruary @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @OriginalCyn620
A nice read with historical characters sprinkled throughout. The authors notes at the end were a nice touch.

“In Paris during the closing days of World War II, American journalist Copper Reilly befriends a timid, unknown designer from the back rooms of a decaying fashion house. His name? Christian #Dior.” This is a fictional tale woven with real events of the period and meticulous research about the rise of #TheDesigner. #TBR - #Fashion 👗- #ReadingResolutions #KindleDeals #BookSale #Ebook $1.99 #Amazon
pick“The Designer” is not quite about Christian Dior, nor post-occupation Paris. Rather, it is about aspiring journalist Copper Reilly, and how uniquely important haute couture was to France as it struggled to pull itself back together.
Overall, I loved this story. It‘s well written, funny in all the right places, and if you have any interest in couture or Dior, I‘d strongly recommend it.
pickThis was a beautiful read. Even if you think you aren't interested in fashion at all, if you enjoy historical fiction, beautiful descriptions, and charming characters, you should give this a try.
