Description

Eileen Ford was a woman who transformed the business of modeling, turning it into one of the most glamorous and desired professions. With her husband Jerry, she created the twentieth century's largest and most successful modeling agency, representing some of the fashion world's most famous names. Ford's relentless ambition helped convert her stable of beautiful faces into millionaire superstars, but she was also a shrewd businesswoman with a keen eye for talent and a passion for serving her clients. Drawing on more than four years of intensive interviews with Ford and her intimates, associates, and rivals, as well as exclusive access to agency documents and memorabilia, Robert Lacey weaves an unforgettable tale of a determined entrepreneur and the empire she built. This book chronicles the Ford Modeling Agency's meteoric rise to the top of the fashion and beauty business, painting a vibrant portrait of the uncompromising woman at its helm in all her glittering, tyrannical brilliance.
