Joséphine in Paris
She was an energetic 18th-century trendsetter—a dedicated follower of fashion, jewels, the horticulture of roses, and Napoleon. (Not necessarily in that order.) Empress Joséphine rose two hours earlier than Napoleon to make her toilette flawless before he woke. At various intervals throughout the day, she changed outfits, and from her 270 priceless parures locked in a vast bronze-and-gilt cabinet she chose the precious stones that best matched the color of the rooms where she would receive guests. Napoleon was determined his court would be the most glittering in the world, and she was his accomplished aide-de-camp. READ ON
