Estée Lauder: A Beautiful Life 【ASSOULINE】

As a businesswoman, matriarch, and innovator, Estée Lauder was in a league of her own. From a humble background growing up in Queens as the child of Hungarian immigrants, Estée’s ambition and hard work found her tremendous success, transforming a small skincare cream business she started in her kitchen into a worldwide portfolio of beauty brands. Ever principled and determined, her charming ebullience took her far― she was the first to harness the power of word-of-mouth advertising, and to realize that a free gift with purchase would do well to win her customer’s loyalty. Crafted like a personal album with the help of her granddaughters, Aerin and Jane, this book opens the door to the legendary woman who made her name known all over the world. As a true visionnaire, Estée Lauder succeeded in building her cosmetics empire through talent, determination, hard work, and kindness, while still maintaining a rich and fulfilling family life. Adding to her iconic legacy was her eye for interiors, a reputation for hosting fabulous dinner parties, and her countless notable friends such as Princess Grace of Monaco, Hubert de Givenchy, Diana, Princess of Wales, Nancy Reagan, and Frank Sinatra, among other luminaries. To celebrate her life and important influence in business, at home, and on the town, Aerin and Jane Lauder alongwith Assouline, present an in-depth look at what a beloved tour de force Estée was, as expressed through herpersonal letters, family photographs, company archives, and more." ** The Ultimate Luxury Coffee Table Book Brand – Assouline ** https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54253808020_ff23841a2a_z.jpg Exclusively introduced by Baker-McGuire’s Taiwan flagship store, Assouline, hailed by The New York Times as the “Birkin of Books,” now has its only dedicated brand section in Taiwan.
