Description
In 1911 the world was on the brink of change and nowhere was this change more evident than in the fashions of French designer Paul Poiret. The most famous designer of his generation was also the host of the first great party of the 20th Century: The Thousand and Second Night, an Arabian Nights inspired event. When Philadelphia department store heir Nathan Wanamaker travels to Paris to learn to be a buyer for his family’s store, he receives an invitation to the party. It is here that he begins to develop an unusual friendship with the self-proclaimed “King of Fashion.” Surrounded by Poiret’s extravagances, Stravinsky’s music, and Picasso’s art, Nathan soon finds himself having to make the difficult choice of what he must bring back with him to Philadelphia and what he must leave behind in Paris.
