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 along with Assouline, present an in-depth look at what a beloved tour de force Estée was, as expressed through her personal letters, family photographs, company archives, and more.

Customer Reviews (4.5 / 5 · 4 reviews)

Ellie ★★★★★

The photos alone are worth it, but what surprised me is how personal the whole thing feels since her granddaughters helped put it together. You get the business empire and the family side both, and the album-style layout makes it easy to just flip through for an hour.

Brian ★★★★★

The album format really makes this feel personal, and the photos from her early years are stunning. You can tell her granddaughters had a hand in it because the little family details woven through the chapters give it real warmth.

Owen N. ★★★★☆

The photos and family album layout make this feel more personal than a typical biography, and you can tell her granddaughters had a hand in putting it together. Only gripe is that some of the captions are printed small, but the archival material is worth it.
