Key item features

  • Legendary actress Brigitte Bardot led fashion revolutions throughout her career; this retrospective includes BB’s comments on her iconic style in a rare, intimate interview. Brigitte Bardot is a style icon whose legacy has undeniably shaped the face of fashion as we know it. She was discovered by a magazine editor at only 14 years old, her career blossomed as the world emerged from the ashes of World War II. She found fame and admiration on the big screen in the 1950s and then became the fiery sex symbol of the groovy and liberated 1960s. Over the course of her career, all of the great French designers—including Christian Dior, Pierre Balmain, and Pierre Cardin—outfitted Bardot on- and offscreen. In photographs that capture her attending receptions by Queen Elizabeth II and Charles de Gaulle or on glamorous visits to the United States, in fashion shoots and on film sets, or relaxing on a grassy field, this volume illustrates all the key looks that BB wore and brought to the international spotlight as she invented and edited her own highly imitated style. In an extensive—and extremely rare—interview, accompanied by her personal comments on the photographs, Bardot explains the context of the often vanguard fashions she wore, making headlines wherever she went. Evoking French style and the glamour of St. Tropez, her legacy endures—from ballerina slippers with sweeping skirts to figure-hugging knitwear, gingham fabrics and gypsy dresses, kohl eyeliner and tousled hair.Actress Brigitte Bardot recalls her stylish past with author Henry-Jean Servat in Brigitte Bardot: My Life in Fashion, filled with photographs from her glamorous life.

    —Parade

    Sprinkled with photos of Ms. Bardot in the gingham get-ups, body-skimming sweaters and shoulder-baring tops that outfit her on- and off-screen personas, this book may well spur conversations about celebrity in the shadow of controversy, or just ardor.
    —The New York Times 

    From the off-shoulder necklines to the beehive haridos, the actress recounts the trends and designs that turned people’s heads and made her a sex symbol. “I wasn’t scandalous – I didn’t want to be,” she once told the author. 'I wanted to be myself. Only myself.' 
    —Closer Weekly

    In BRIGITTE BARDOT: MY LIFE IN FASHION, journalist and Bardot authority Henry-Jean Servat has assembled a tribute to the actress’s lifelong relationship with la mode.<
