Klappentext zu „The International Best Dressed List “
A lavishly illustrated celebration of the International Best Dressed List, this book is a who's who of the most glamorous men and women from around the world, a banquet of style, elegance, and taste over the last 75 years.This spectacular volume is a visual history of the much lauded and highly visible International Best Dressed List (IBDL) that was launched by Eleanor Lambert, "Godmother of Fashion," in 1940. Since its inception, the list has become a barometer of style and today it is considered the highest honor a sartorial savant can receive. The list reads like a who's who of the most glamorous women and men from the worlds of high society, aristocracy, Hollywood, celebrity, fashion, art, culture, and media. This volume will tell the story of the list through decades of gorgeous photography of the chosen "swans" of style, elegance, and grace, including such icons as Marlene Dietrich, Wallis Simpson (Duchess of Windsor), Babe Paley, Marella Agnelli, Gloria Vanderbilt, C.Z. Guest, Madame Chiang-Kai Check, Grace Kelly, Jackie Kennedy, Audrey Hepburn, Twiggy, Bianca Jagger, Tina Chow, Queen Elizabeth, Princess Diana, Angelica Huston, Lauren Hutton, Carolyn Roehm, Nicole Kidman, Michele Obama, and Beyoncé, to name but a few. In 1968 men were added to the list, including Fred Astaire, the Duke of Windsor, Gianni Agnelli, Cary Grant, Harry Belafonte, Bill Blass, Tom Wolfe, George Clooney, David Beckham, David Bowie, and Jeremy Irons.
A reflection not only of the evolution of fashion over time but of the upper echelons of society and culture, this rich history is told from the perspective of writer, IBDL Hall of Famer, and list insider Amy Fine Collins, and features archival and contemporary fashion photography of honorees who have graced the list through the decades, accompanied by entertaining anecdotes, exclusive insights, and behind-the-scenes goings-on that shed light both on the selection process, and the zeitgeist of the times.

Pressezitat
"In her recently released history, The International Best-Dressed List: The Official Story, Collins dishes on the backstory, intrigue, glamour and enduring cultural impact of the list, which will mark its 80th anniversary this year." THE REAL REAL"The voluminous book chronicles each era, beginning with the 1940 s when women voted to the List were better known for their marriages than for personal achievements. The 50 s introduced younger glamour with the likes of Audrey Hepburn, Grace Kelly and Britain s Princess Margaret. The 1960 s chapter, Beautiful People and Elegant Rebels , put entertainer Diahann Carroll on the list, along with Barbra Streisand, Cary Grant and British supermodel, Twiggy. The 60 s era also showcased style icon Jacqueline Kennedy, during and after the Camelot years. During the 70 s, the recession, the hostage and energy crises impacted voters and individuals from television and pop culture made the List. This was followed by the prosperous 80 s, the 90 s geek and grunge cultures and the 2000 s when it reflected the effects of the internet, social media and fusion of the entertainment and fashion industries."
