BLOOM: A STORY OF FASHION DESIGNER ELSA SCHIAPARELLI (HB)

By the 1930s Elsa Schiaparelli had captivated the fashion world in Paris, but before that, she was a little girl in Rome who didn’t feel pretty at all. Bloom is the enchanting story for young readers of how a young girl - who once planted seeds in her ears and nose hoping to blossom like a flower - used her imagination to create hats shaped like shoes, a dress adorned with lobsters and gloves with fingernails, and emerged from plain to extraordinary.
