"Who better than Simon to write about glamour and eccentricity? He is both!!!!"
--Diane von Furstenberg
Product Description
Simon Doonan's ECCENTRIC GLAMOUR is intended as an antidote to the epidemic of slutty dressing and porno-chic which has taken over since the arrival of Paris Hilton and Tara Reid. In Simon's utopian world, conformity is the only crime and dressing down is the only faux-pas. Doonan believes that eccentric glamour is every woman's birthright. While the typical TV boobs 'n' botox make-overs force Everywoman to look the same - exhibit A: "The Real Housewives of Orange County" - the transformations which he strives to provoke in this book are the very opposite. Developing a glamorously eccentric style involves revealing and magnifying everything which is distinctive and idiosyncratic about you. This book is by no means a typical style advice manual. In ECCENTRIC GLAMOUR you will find a unique mixture of cultural commentary and personal disclosure, generously seasoned with gushings of wildly dictatorial, provocative and reckless style advice and evenly sprinkled with one-on-one interviews with some the World's most glamorous eccentrics, including Iman, Lucy Liu, Tilda Swinton, Malcolm Gladwell, Chloe Sevigny, and Dita Von Teese.

Simon Doonan hits a high with this book. exactly as it says, Eccentric Glamous is not the normal glamour one expects. it's slightly twisted and irreverent. which is perfect cause not everyone has it. interviews with Iris Apfel and Tilda Swinton shows how glamorous you can be without looking like you stepped out of OK or heat magazine. goodbye tabloid trash...HELLO a cooloer you!!!

An easy, witty read and quite inspirational. The theme of style helps it all hang together really well. However, having read this and another Doonan book consecutively, I did find a fair bit of repetition and his anecdotes about his partner, Jonathan Adler, seem to have been squeezed in - more relevant for a magazine interview than for this book, I feel.

Loved this book. I'm a junkie for this type of style advice but was getting really bored with all the same old guff. It's really original and very, very funny (sort of David Sedaris meets Gok Wan).
