"The Way She Looks Tonight shows how five icons of style used the language of fashion to define themselves and their eras - in the tradition of The Power of Style by Annette Tapert and Diana Edkins.". "In this elegantly written and erudite study of that elusive quality called style, acclaimed biographer Marian Fowler explores the lives of five very different women through a new and unusual source: their choice of clothes. In this history lesson through fashion, Fowler examines what each woman was communicating through her dress and why the female public identified with these trendsetters."--BOOK JACKET.
