Women have been stealing style inspiration from each other for generations, adapting fashions to suit their individual figures and tastes. We all admire a beautifully dressed catwalk model or a movie star on the red carpet, yet we often forget that their glamorous looks can be traced back to great beauties from the past. For example, Christina Aguilera and Charlize Theron are still remembered for their Jean Harlow-inspired fingerwave hairstyles, Michelle Obama and Carla Bruni-Sarkozy have stolen Jackie O's First Lady fashion, and the singer Duffy's half-bouffant is the perfect modern take on Brigitte Bardot's long beehive. From Louise Brooks to Audrey Hepburn, Twiggy to Debbie Harry, there are scores of vintage looks to suit just about everyone. Those who prefer more classical styling can take inspiration from Grace Kelly's Ice Princess, while alternative types might want to copy Joan Jett's Rock Chick.
With background information describing 25 fabulous beauty icons, Steal Her Style reveals everything you need to know about getting their looks and making them your own. You'll find key details on the designers and trends of the day, color palettes and silhouette shapes, plus hair and makeup techniques. You'll also find shopping lists to help you find vintage apparel. The book concludes with a directory of vintage boutiques and hair and makeup stylists who specialize in retro looks.
