Caroline Young is a writer and author specialising in fashion and film history. She is the co-author of Tartan and Tweed, and the author of Classic Hollywood Style, Hitchcock's Heroines, Roman Holiday: The Secret Life of Hollywood in Rome, and Welbeck's The Colour of Fashion.

Originally from Edinburgh, where she still lives, she took a Masters in Journalism in Brisbane, Australia after studying English and film and TV studies at Glasgow University. She worked as a fashion writer and assistant digital editor at Herald Scotland. She also has a strong interest in the golden age of Hollywood, and has extensively researched at archives in Los Angeles for her books on film history and costume.

Elisa Paganelli was born in Modena (Italy), and since childhood cannot resist the smell of paper and pencils. She attended the Institute of Art and subsequently graduated from the European Institute of Design (IED) in Turin with a degree in illustration.

As a post-grad, Elisa worked as a graphic designer for a communication agency. However she realized that this wasn't the life for her, so she decided to set up her own art and design studio. (She also ran a successful design shop for 6 years, but this is another story.)

Elisa devotes most of her time to her passion for images and words. She thinks of herself as a kind of hermit, immersed in her quiet world of nature and books, accompanied by a cup of tea and her beloved pet-assistants. She now collaborates with publishers and advertising agencies all over the world, and also writes for a newspaper's lifestyle column.
