Style is more than a fashion

Last month contained my birthday, and one of the gifts I received from Jeremy was "The Power of Style." This is one of the few coffee table-style books that I have read each word within. The fourteen short biographies of the featured women of style are so engaging. Their inventions, wit, creativity and the expanse in which their style infused makes each profile fascinating. While I would usually crave more photos in a book of this type, the written descriptions of each "character" are so vivid the images are more than sufficient. This book shows how style, although connected to fashion, is so distinct from it and encompasses so much more.
