Synopsis
The Way She Looks Tonight shows how five icons of style used the language of fashion to define themselves and their eras - in the tradition of The Power of Style by Annette Tapert and Diana Edkins.
In this elegantly written and erudite study of that elusive quality called style, acclaimed biographer Marian Fowler explores the lives of five very different women through a new and unusual source: their choice of clothes. In this history lesson through fashion, Fowler examines what each woman was communicating through her dress and why the female public identified with these trendsetters.

From the Inside Flap
From one of Canada's most acclaimed biographers, a deliciously wicked and revealing look at five women who were icons of style:
¸ Eugénie, Empress of France
¸ Elinor Glyn, successful pulp novelist
¸ Marlene Dietrich, the most imitated woman in the world
¸ Wallis Simpson, the woman the King could not live without
¸ and Jackie Kennedy, the enigmatic First Lady who influenced women's fashion for decades to come
Marian Fowler takes us along as she peers into a great many wardrobes, hat boxes and jewel cases to reveal how these five extraordinary women wrote their life stories in the universal language of clothes.
