A lavishly illustrated banquet of style, elegance, and taste, this
is a who's who of the most glamorous men and women around the
world, the ultimate treasury of fashion inspiration. This sumptuous
volume--the ultimate sourcebook for fashion mavens, Instagram
followers, and celebrity worshippers--presents the complete history
of the much-lauded and highly visible International Best-Dressed
List (IBDL) launched by Eleanor Lambert, 'Godmother of Fashion,' in
1940. The List has become a barometer of style and the highest
honor a sartorial savant can receive, and today it's an ongoing
record of the world's most glamorous women and men from society,
royalty, Hollywood, celebrity, fashion, art, culture, sports, and
media. These gorgeous 'swans' of elegance, influence, and grace are
gathered here in the most comprehensive survey ever published. This
rich story is told by insider and IBDL Hall-of-Famer Amy Fine
Collins through her encyclopedic knowledge, exclusive insights, and
countless entertaining anecdotes about the behind-the-scenes
goings-on--Lambert was offered kickbacks and bribes of up to
$50,000 by list aspirants--that shed light on the selection
process, the vibrant personalities (not to mention egos) of the
chosen, and the zeitgeist of the times. For sixty years, Lambert
was queen of the International Best-Dressed List. In 2002, she
formally ceded the reins to Graydon Carter, Amy Fine Collins,
Reinaldo Herrera, and Aimee Bell.
