[.ca] Audrey Style (ISBN 0060193298)

From Amazon.com:
In 1953, When Audrey Hepburn burst onto the screen in Roman Holiday, she forever changed the international ideal of elegance, grace, and beauty. Suddenly, glamour and even sexiness seemed attainable for women everywhere; Audrey was uncommonly beautiful, but she was real--hers was a look anyone could aim for, but few could pull off as effortlessly or effectively. By mixing a few classic elements of "Audrey style"--the little black dress, ballet flats with slim capri pants, bold hats and sunglasses--suburban housewives became more Hollywood than Hoboken in an instant. Here author Pamela Clarke Keogh introduces us to the woman behind the clothes, using words from friends, fellow actors, and designers who dressed her to paint a picture of a truly remarkable woman. A humanitarian, artist, friend, and above all, survivor, Audrey inspired women and men alike to approach life with spirit, grace, and simplicity. The nearly 100 color and black-and-white photographs, paired with original sketches from such fashion luminaries as Givenchy, Manolo Blahnik, and Vera Wang, show that Audrey was much more than a beautiful, well-dressed personality; her courage and individuality come shining through in every page. --Leah Ball

a great book:
This book really shows you many lovely photos of Audrey Hepburn and a lovely biogrpahy on her life, that doens't go into detail, but is v ery refreshing. It talks mainly about her sense of style and comments fromt he people who knew and loved her. It shows her style, charm and wonderful femininty, always elegance and lovely clothes. Her style never goe sout of fashion.

The Zen of Audrey's Style:
A fun book for all Audrey admirers with a gentle warning to unquestioning mimics: The essence of Audrey is not to follow.

I love this book!:
This book is great for any Audrey Hepburn fan. It has an abundance of pictures of her throughout her life and in the back of the book the source of each photo. I was also impressed with biographical content. I really was not expecting much from the content but it was fun to read, recapturing moments from her movies, anecdotes of those who knew her, and more. However, if you are looking for a straight biography of Audrey Hepburn I would recommend Barry Paris' Audrey Hepburn book. This book is for those who, as the title implies, love the style of Audrey Hepburn. If you adore her clothes or her make up, and are interested in further appreciating that side of Audrey then buy this book. If you are simply interested in fashion of the 50s and 60s you may also want to look into this. And if you love Audrey Hepburn do not hesitate to look at this book.

Delivery doesn't match topic:
A book like this should have more pictures. The ones it does have don't have captions. The writing is fairly ameteurish but does have some interesting stuff despite being from an angle I didn't like. I didn't like the big black pages with the white lettered quotes not just because some of the quotes weren't especially good, but because you can't read the middle that is in the binding and seems to be poor quality ink or paper. All around this book is just okay, great topic, poor delivery.

A perfect book about a perfect lady:
I really like this book-it really shows what an absolutely beautiful lady she was-she certainly was very sensual and sexy.She knew how to project herself without going overboard- the lady had class and it really showed.There aren't any actresses like Audrey anymore-I really miss her. I highly recommend getting this book.
