At all times, people have valued beautiful clothing, exquisite jewelry, and household items, but during the reign of Louis XIV, this love of external beauty reached its peak. The Sun King, possessing superb taste and an unrivaled sense of style, revolutionized fashion, inspiring his subjects with spectacular outfits and hairstyles, grand feasts, and entertainment, thereby industrializing the production of luxury goods. By the end of the 17th century, Paris had become the world capital of elegance and style. French couturiers, hairdressers, jewelers, and chefs became trendsetters, and sparkling wine became an indispensable attribute of celebration.

This book tells the story of how the French invented haute couture, refined cuisine, champagne, chic cafes, and a glittering nightlife—everything that constitutes the quintessence of style, its essence, and its allure.
