  I liked this book a lot. It is more about recreating certain genres and eras of fashion that it is about a specific person's look, and it is thourough. Everything from hair and make-up tutorials to exact designers and styles you should shop for. My favorite looks were the mid-60s and early 70s, but it's also a great lesson in fashion history and making the most of your assets.

  This is the fashion book I have been searching for! Actual stories explaining how and why things worked on people with relevant context, how you can achieve the look with shopping and beauty secrets. Explaining too the designer influence and trend take-offs. And it spans all genres and doesn’t try to fit everyone into the same box. Only truly disappointing thing is the lack of color... lots of white chicks, but unfortunately a casualty of the last 100 years of fashion, Kennedy tries her best. And doesn’t limit to American. I’m mildly jealous of the girls who can fit into these boxes. My look crosses several and I don’t have a label, but trying hard to not be “average middle aged white lady”.

  I really like this book. No, it's not a discussion of body shapes and what clothes look good on those shapes, but it's worthwhile if you're like me and have a style that leans more toward vintage and away from the hot trend of lulu lemon athleisure wear that seems to have taken over the upper middle class and the mall.
  
  The book features looks from the 1920s to 1980s, photos of women who exemplified those looks, and the hallmarks of each of those looks (Hair styles, colors, clothing cuts and signature pieces) should you want to incorporate it into your own personal style.
  
  I refer to it often!

  No, the cover is not my style. However, this book gives a great guide to decade-wise and icon-wise style, with directions for hair, makeup, and fashion. I liked it a lot!

  I adore books on vintage style! Sadly for me this one did not have anything that made it really stand out. The hair and makeup tutorials were adequate as were the outlines of the Icon in questions style. Perhaps I have read too many books in a similar vein and have become jaded but the most enthusiasm I can muster for this is to say I liked the pictures and it was an ok read but not a standout in the genre by any means.
  
  The other thing I feel I have to comment on has already been mentioned by other reviewers, vintage designer fashion is neither cheap nor easy to find! Yes, I would love to have Chanel and Hermes scarves but honestly, I need to be able to eat too. I would have greatly preferred concrete descriptions so I could look for similar pieces in high street stores. Vintage style is possible on a tight budget with only high street finds and some panache, I would have love to have seen some of the looks recreated without designer items!

  I was hoping for a break down of these style icons and how to get that look. Instead what I got was a list of things to look for at thrift stores. So if you want Marilyn Monroes style, look for Ferrogamo heels at the goodwill! Great....

  I liked some of the fashions out of here, but some I would never wear!!! Some styles are so unique you just can't copy them, they look only good on that iconic person!!! What can I say, they are each a island of there own.

  Nothing outstanding or useful - just a compilation of photos featuring different so-called style icons and a few of their outfits. You get a few pages dedicated to each style icon and you are told in general what kinds of clothes and accessories to wear to achieve that look. Quite boring.
