Glamorous eccentrics are irresistible people. They are irreverent,
occasionally impertinent, a tad mysterious, charming, often
self-invented, good at applying eyeliner, and above all
nonconformist. They are a fabulous confection of style,
self-empowerment, and black patent sling backs. Everyone wants to
be one, but how? Ubiquitous style guru Simon Doonan has the answer.
By no means a typical how-to manual, "Eccentric Glamour" is a
mixture of cultural commentary and personal disclosure, generously
seasoned with gushings of wildly dictatorial, provocative, and
reckless style advice. Through cautionary tales and inspirational
examples, Doonan shows how to develop your own brand of eccentric
glamour -- by magnifying everything that is already unique and
idiosyncratic about you.
In these comic essays, interspersed with one-on-one interviews
with some of the world's most glamorous eccentrics (including Iman,
Lucy Liu, Tilda Swinton, Malcolm Gladwell, and many more), Simon
Doonan offers the women of America an alternative to the cheapness
and tackiness that currently pass for personal style. "Eccentric
Glamour" is intended as an antidote to the epidemic of slutty
dressing and porno-chic that has taken over since the arrival of
Paris Hilton and Anna Nicole Smith (may she rest in peace). While
the typical TV boobs 'n' Botox makeovers force every woman to look
the same, the transformations this book strives to inspire are the
very opposite. Dressing like a ho is not just bad taste but boring
In Simon Doonan's book, conformity is the only crime and dressing
down the only faux pas.
Eccentric Glamour is every woman's birthright. SO SAY NO TO HO
...and yes to ECCENTRIC GLAMOUR
