Mitan & Moni: A Tale of Fashion, Dreams, and Hollywood Glamour Are you ready to immerse yourself in a captivating story of crochet passion, ambition, and the glitz and glamour of 1960s Hollywood? Step into the world of two young Swedish pioneers who dared to dream big. The book will transport you to 1967, when the courageous Swedish sisters, Mitan and Moni, embarked on an extraordinary journey to pursue their fashion dreams across the Atlantic. Join these talented women as they leave their homeland behind and set foot in the dazzling realm of Hollywood, armed with nothing but their creativity and determination. Their path to success could have been paved with obstacles and years of struggle, but fate intervened when a fortuitous early meeting with Vogue changed everything. Word spread like wildfire about Mitan & Moni's remarkable talent for crafting exquisite crochet clothing. Suddenly, Hollywood's elite clamored for a taste of their artistry, with the likes of Goldie Hawn, Diana Ross, Patty Duke, Marlo Thomas, Sammy Davis Jr., and many other A-list celebrities adorning themselves in their stunning creations. Through the pages of this book, you will witness the rollercoaster of emotions, funny encounters, as well as trials and triumphs, as Mitan and Moni navigate through the relentless demands of their newfound success. From their humble beginnings with an old suitcase brimming with crochet pieces to rubbing shoulders with the stars they once idolized on screen, every step of their glamorous entrepreneurial journey will keep you enthralled. Illuminate your imagination with vivid descriptions and immerse yourself in their world through 222 captivating images, allowing you to witness the magic they wove into every stitch. Feel the excitement of their rise to success walking into the houses of some of Tinseltown’s biggest stars, and the highs and lows that come with striving for success. "Mitan & Moni" is not just a tale of crochet fashion, but a testament to the relentless pursuit of dreams. With its heartwarming narrative and enthralling details, this book showcases the inspiring journey of two women who defied the odds. A must-read for aspiring designers, crochet lovers, and anyone searching for an ‘against all odds’ success story! Authors Note: I have always felt so inspired by my mom and aunt's very entrepreneurial spirit at such a young age – how they dared to move to a foreign country and pursue their dreams without any prior connections to the fashion industry, or to the Hollywood celebrities that would become their clients and friends. To this day I am still amazed by their courage and the success they found. Having been able to document their story has been an honor, and this book journey has been the realization of my own long-time dream of becoming an author. I have self-published this book and have loved every minute of that learning experience, and I am so thankful that being able to do so is a possibility in today's day and age. If you enjoy the book please help spread the word to others who might like it, and I would also be most grateful if you might consider leaving a review! All the best, /Jenny
