Catherine Dior (1917–2008) byla múzou svého bratra Christiana i statečnou členkou francouzského odboje. Navzdory dvanáctiletému věkovému rozdílu si byli velmi blízcí. Sdíleli lásku ke květinám a zahradničení i vášeň pro umění a hudbu. Traumatické události, jimž padla rodina za oběť, se na nich hluboce podepsaly, zároveň je ale naučily důvtipu a improvizaci. Mladší sestra jednoho z nejvlivnějších světových módních návrhářů ovlivnila jeho pojetí ženskosti a krásy a inspirovala ho k legendárnímu parfému Miss Dior.

Danielle Bernstein spent her youth shopping at discount department stores, getting boozy in suburban backyards, and proposing marriage to every boy she dated.

Dzieje rodziny Gucci to mieszanka zarówno splendoru, pasji, wielkich pieniędzy, świata mody i ekskluzywnej galanterii skórzanej, jak i rywalizacji, oszustw, skandali, zdrad oraz zbrodni. Życie każdego z członków włoskiej dynastii związane było z przedsiębiorstwem stworzonym przez Guccia Gucciego. Z biegiem lat, gdy rodzina się powiększała, a do modowego imperium o światowej renomie dostęp zyskiwali kolejni potomkowie, ambicje i temperamenty wielu z nich wpływały na coraz częstsze spory i spiski – a warto dodać, że żaden z nich nie miał zamiaru ustąpić.

La storia di ogni grande donna è la storia delle sue guerre. Quelle di Coco Chanel sono state almeno quattro: due conflitti mondiali, le battaglie sindacali degli anni Venti e Trenta, e la guerra contro i suoi fantasmi. Questa, la più cruenta di tutte, comincia con l'abbandono da parte del padre, prosegue con l'infanzia lontana dalla famiglia, "esiliata" in un convento di suore – che però, conquistato il benessere, sosterrà economicamente – e poi con la perdita di un grande amore, il più grande, e con la rinuncia a una casa vera e propria per trasferirsi al Ritz.

Cristóbal Balenciaga no se dejaba ver en sus desfiles ni salía jamás a saludar tras finalizarlos. Si hacemos caso a la leyenda, el diseñador vasco seguía con detalle los pases a través de un discreto agujero practicado en las cortinas de terciopelo que decoraban su maison. Apenas existen retratos suyos, e incluso llegó a calar el rumor de que el hombre invisible de la alta costura no era más que una invención, una estrategia comercial elaborada con astucia.
