Description
Ultimate Style: The Best of the Best Dressed List by Bettina Zilkha is a lavishly illustrated fashion history celebrating more than six decades of the iconic Best Dressed List and the evolution of modern style.
Tracing the origins of the list from its creation in 1940 by fashion publicist Eleanor Lambert, the book explores how it grew from a campaign to promote American fashion into one of the industry’s most prestigious honours. Featuring Lambert’s own reflections, it offers insight into the changing world of fashion and the women who defined elegance across generations.
Richly illustrated throughout, the volume profiles legendary style icons including Grace Kelly, Diana Vreeland, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Twiggy, Diana, Princess of Wales, Nicole Kidman, and many others whose personal style influenced fashion around the world. Blending biography, fashion history, and photography, it is both a reference work and an elegant coffee-table book for fashion enthusiasts.
