HLHS: Sara Gay Forden - The House of Gucci

Description

Sara Gay Forden, author of The House of Gucci: Sensational Story of Murder, Madness, Glamour, and Greed. Called “racy, fast-paced [and] hard to put down” by International Herald Tribune, this book has been made into a soon to be released motion picture starring Lady Gaga. Forden will be in conversation with award-winning Journalist Teri Agins, who covered fashion for The Wall Street Journal for many years and is the author of two books on fashion. On March 27, 1995, Maurizio Gucci, heir to the fabulous fashion dynasty, was slain on the steps to his office by an unknown gunman. Two years later, Milan’s chief of police arrested Gucci’s ex-wife, Patrizia Reggiani, for allegedly hiring a hitman to murder him. But did she? The Gucci story is one of glitz, glamour, and intrigue—a chronicle of the rise, near fall, and subsequent resurgence of a fashion dynasty.
