Behind nearly every garment in the feminine wardrobe there is a first of its kind that has spawned countless others. While the definitive example - often created by a single designer - has achieved iconic status, its various reinterpretations, season after season, have become fashion staples.
• Take Coco Chanel's short, simple black dress first published in American Vogue in 1926, for instance. Vogue predicted that the LBD would become 'a sort of uniform for all women of taste' and, indeed, it proved to be one of Chanel's greatest contributions to fashion.
• Icons of Women's Style examines, item by item, the most influential and legendary clothes and accessories - their provenance and history, the stories of their design, the celebrities who made them famous and the various ways they have shaped how women dress today.

"This gives an historical view on the staple wardrobe pieces that feature in many of today’s contemporary women’s wardrobes. The book gives background information and uses photography that is made more interesting by using pictures of iconic actresses, singers, fashion designers and super models to demonstrate an items appeal and use.
• The book is split up into nine sections starting with ‘outerwear’ that features pictures of stars like Audrey Hepburn, Catherine Deneuve, Ginger Rogers and Chrissie Hind. The final chapter is on ‘Accessories’ and features the likes of Marlene Dietrich, Faye Dunaway, Twiggy, Janet Leigh, Coco Chanel, Grace Kelly, Greta Garbo and the model Suzy Parker; to name only a few.
• It’s an interesting glamorous book that gives you a snapshot with a concise history of many fashion items we all take for granted today; from women in trousers to those in power suits, miniskirts or bikinis. It demonstrates how the practical can also be stylish and fun. An informative reference point that is also easy on the eye."

"Excellent, quality book! Great text, great photographs, everything you want to know about women's style, past, present and future."
