Instead of focusing on the designers that have made their marks in the past decades, this original and inspiring portrayal of style icons features the unforgettable faces and bodies that helped propel designers into the limelight over the years. Organized by timeless style sensibilities that reflect distinctive fashion identities, the book features a wide array of fashion icons, including sophisticates such as Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and Audrey Hepburn, it-girls like Edie Sedgewick and ChloA" Sevigny, bombshells like Marylin Monroe and Brigitte Bardot, and eccentrics like Bjork and Grace Jones. Each fashion icon is given her own generous two-page spread. Beautiful photographs illustrate how the subject personifies a certain quality of style, and fascinating texts discuss her influence and unique contributions to the world of fashion. This engaging and endlessly appealing celebration of style will please fashionistas of all ages and tastes.

Really good, could be better.,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Fashionista: A Century of Style Icons (Hardcover)
The book is beautiful to look at and well-written, but it leaves me wanting more. More photos of the women profiled (some have but one photo and that doesn't really give you more than a glimpse into someone's style), more information on who they were, what they did, and when they lived (other than the photos, there are no dates provided). I like that the women are divided by "type," rather than just listed chronologically. That said, the book has inspired me to read more about some of the Fashionistas I found particularly interesting.

Belissima,
By Holly (NYC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fashionista: A Century of Style Icons (Hardcover)
Wonderful photos (I especially love the ones of Grace Kelly, Diana Vreeland and Kate Moss), informative and delightful texts. What a great collection of girls with style - makes the perfect present for any fashion aficionado!

Lacking,
By Shanter (Seattle) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fashionista: A Century of Style Icons (Hardcover)
This is a pretty book at first look, but ultimately disappointing. There isn't enough information about each person, and some of them are quite obscure. There are also many who should have been included instead of some who were. The choice of photos also seems random and not necessarily what these women were known for.
