Book Review: Steal Her Style
Here at Wiseling, we love anything and everything that has to do with vintage fashion. Sarah Kennedy’s great new book Steal Her Style is one of those things. Just released this summer, this book features profiles of 25 of fashion’s greatest icons from Louise Brooks’ flapper-chic to Cindy Crawford’s glamazon style. Each section contains a detailed break-down of the fashion of each icon’s time as well as the types of vintage clothing and brands to look for, and hair and makeup tips to create modern versions of these lovely ladies’ looks. Kennedy even includes a handy chart at the front of the book, listing all 25 women and the body-types and personal aesthetics best suited to wearing their silhouettes. For instance, she writes that Audrey Hepburn’s style works best on women with pear shaped bodies and feminine or quirky tastes in clothing, while Grace Kelly’s style lends itself towards women with boyish/athletic bodies and classic tastes. Having matched up at least two or more body types and personal styles to each icon, Kennedy makes it easy for readers to find their ideal vintage inspiration. We’ll being reading up on our favorite icons, especially before our next vintage shopping trip.
