How to be Parisian Wherever You Are brilliantly deconstructs the French woman's views on culture, fashion and attitude. 

Unlike other books on French style, this illustrated handbook is full of wit and self-deprecating humour. The authors are bohemian free-thinkers and iconoclasts, not afraid to cut through some of the myths. They say what you don't expect to hear, just the way you want to hear it. They are not against smoking in bed, and all for art, politics and culture, making everything look easy, and going against the grain.

Including 80 black and white and colour pictures, many taken by the authors, this book explains those confusing subjects of clothes, makeup, men, culture and lifestyle as only a true Parisienne can.
