The ELLEments of Personal Style: 25 Modern Fashion Icons on How to Dress, Shop, and Live [Hardcover] by Elle Editors Joe Zee and Maggie Bullock (Author)

I saw this book in the newly designed Portmans store in WBJ ( they have a great selection of fashion books). I had a flip through and it looks great with alot of lifestyle shots of real people rather than one of those boring how to style guides. ‘Featuring twenty-five case studies of style icons that represent a wide range of tastes and backgrounds, The ELLEments of Personal Style brims with behind-the-scenes interviews, along with commentary on why each icon’s wardrobe works. Describing a red cocktail dress that always makes her feel flawless or the jacket bought on a special trip to Paris, each woman provides a personal collage of memorable objets d’art that serve as an inspiration list. Some of the women who gave ELLE unprecedented access to their homes, closets, and inspirations include: Fergie, Estelle, Padma Lakshmi, Candace Bushnell, Christina Hendricks, Tracee Ellis Ross, and others.’ Cool
