Audrey Hepburn: The Illustrated World of a Fashion Icon is a
stunning illustrated biography of style and screen legend Audrey
Hepburn, from internationally renowned fashion illustrator Megan
Hess. From Sabrina to Breakfast at Tiffany's, Audrey Hepburn is
renowned for her unforgettable film roles and fashion looks, but
less well known is her fascinating life, including her childhood in
Nazi-occupied Holland and her tireless dedication to helping those
less fortunate than herself. In this book, Megan's beautiful
illustrations follow Hepburn through three distinct chapters: her
early life in World War II Europe, dreaming of becoming a
ballerina; her ingenue years as the rising star of Hollywood and
her incredible fashion partnership with Hubert de Givenchy; and her
private life beyond the silver screen, building a legacy through
her humanitarian work. Elegantly enclosed by a hardback cover and
ribbon, Audrey Hepburn: The Illustrated World of a Fashion Icon is
a beautiful celebration of a woman whose life was as remarkable as
the clothes she wore and the movies she starred in, with every
surprising detail and iconic outfit brought to life on the page by
the expert hand of Megan Hess.
A practical introduction to key fashion trends from the little
black dress and bowler hat to the ladies trouser suit and 2:55 bag.
Fashion is all around us, and few of us are unaffected by it; yet,
how many people know the origins of the little black dress, bowler
hat or ladies trouser suit? How many people can pin down the famous
brand of leather jacket Marlon Brando wore in The Wild One, or why
the Chanel bag is known as the 2:55 bag? How to Read Fashion
identifies the main fashion trends of the past 200 years and shows
you how they relate to contemporary styles. From Neo-Classical to
Gothic, Empire to Punk, Military and Designer Branding, explore the
defining characteristics of each 'look' and read about the
techniques and materials for some additional technical grounding.
Finally, find out how all these trends are applied in the world of
men's and women's fashions, including formal, casual and leisure
wear, as well as accessories, jewellery, hair styles and make-up.
As both a dip-in reference and stylish resource, How to Read
Fashion equips you with the visual vocabulary to understand,
investigate and interpret styles.

"A true collector's item..." - Tim Chan, Rolling Stone "Filled to
the brim with everything from Harry's colour palettes to his
inspiration, this pick combines high-fashion with all the
quirkiness we love about HS and it's just perfect." - Glamour UK
"Have the best-dressed coffee table by adorning it with this book
filled with photos of THE best-dressed man." - Seventeen Magazine
"I'm incredibly lucky to have an environment where I feel
comfortable being myself" - Harry Styles. Stepping bravely into the
cyclone of 21st-century fashions, Harry Styles is more than
weathering the storm. Whether he's breaking the internet with his
$7.99 frog-eyed yellow bucket hat or a pair of black fishnets, or
fronting cult magazine The Beauty Papers, as he did in March 2021,
Hazza's sparkle knows no boundaries. Gucci met Styles in 2014, and
there was instant chemistry. According to designer Alessandro
Michele, Harry is 'a young Greek God with the attitude of James
Dean and a little bit of Mick Jagger' - and that effortless
superstardom certainly radiates from the photos in this collection,
which document the heart of Harry's wardrobe, both on-stage and
off. Part fashion history lesson, pulling references from the rock
and roll greats of the past, and part innovation, Harry's style
pays homage to Kurt Cobain and Marc Bolan, Prince and Little
Richard, while developing into something authentic and entirely his
own. This chic book fizzles with facts about Harry's styling
choices, presenting the star's most revered looks alongside
pictures that trace the roots of each design. With quotes from key
designers, this is the perfect gift for any fan.
