| HOUSE OF LACHASSE By Peter Lewis-Crown OBE |
 |
House of Lachasse documents the past seventy years of British fashion through the life of one designer. It tells the story of Peter Lewis-Crown as his life becomes entwined with the history of one of the London’s leading couture houses. It is a celebration of beautiful clothes, the talented people who design and make them and the lucky people who wear them. It leaves us with the question ‘where does fashion go from here?
