Buttoned Down: My Life with Ben and Beyond

by Daphne Sherman, Terry Rawlings (Collaborator)

'Buttoned Down' is the true story of Daphne Sherman, widow of Ben Sherman, the mercurial creator of the worldwide famous shirt brand that bears his name. Played out against a backdrop of the 'Swinging Sixties', and the 'Hung Over Seventies', it takes us through the myriad twists and turns of two lives that, although once united, ultimately end up divided and at war. Told with raw honesty and dry humour and featuring a cast of unforgettable characters, this tale is full of dodgy dealings, duckers, divers and scams, pop stars, rock stars, court cases and even murder! This is the story of one man's creative genius and his inevitable rise to fame; his equally dramatic fall from grace and descent into madness, and one woman's determination to escape his clutches. 'Buttoned Down' is not a book you should judge by it's cover.
