The Vergottinis is an Italian family of hair stylists and image consultants that shook up and dominated the Italian fashion in the 60’s and 70’s. They created hairstyles for celebrities and for who wanted to become a celebrity.

Moreover, she tells stories about her family, hairstylists’ secrets, the secrets of many celebrities, the only ones who could push Mr Vergottini to tear his hair out... A book for lovers of fashion, of the Italian style, of stories that hang in the balance between gossip and reality.
