Eccentric Glamour: Creating an Insanely More Fabulous You [Hardcover]

"Who better than Simon to write about glamour and eccentricity? He is both!!!!"

--Diane von Furstenberg --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

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, the creative director at Barney's New York, is the author of NASTY and CONFESSIONS OF A WINDOW DRESSER. He is a columnist for The New York Observer and regular commentator on America's Next Top Model, Full Frontal Fashion and VH1. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
