The Autobiography

Descriere

Vidal Sassoon's extraordinary life has taken him from an impoverished East End childhood to global fame. The father of modern hairdressing, his slick sharp cutting took the fashion world by storm and reinvented the hairdressers' art. His memoirs are as rich in anecdote as one might hope and full of surprising and often moving stories of his early life - his time at the Spanish and Portuguese Jewish Orphanage in Maida Vale, fighting fascists in London's East End and fighting in the army of the fledgling state of Israel in the late forties - and then there is his extraordinary career.
