<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Celebrated style arbiter Doonan offers a tongue-in-chic guide to personal style for women who want to break out of the retail-chain doldrums. An antidote to the epidemic of slutty dressing, "Eccentric Glamour" teaches women how to create an original style. 15 b&w illustrations.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Glamorous eccentrics are irresistible people.</b> They are irreverent, occasionally impertinent, a tad mysterious, charming, often self-invented, good at applying eyeliner, and above all nonconformist. They are a fabulous confection of style, self-empowerment, and black patent sling backs. Everyone wants to be one, but how? Ubiquitous style guru Simon Doonan has the answer. <p/> By no means a typical how-to manual, <i>Eccentric Glamour</i> is a mixture of cultural commentary and personal disclosure, generously seasoned with gushings of wildly dictatorial, provocative, and reckless style advice. Through cautionary tales and inspirational examples, Doonan shows how to develop your own brand of eccentric glamour -- by magnifying everything that is already unique and idiosyncratic about you. <p/> In these comic essays, interspersed with one-on-one interviews with some of the world's most glamorous eccentrics (including Iman, Lucy Liu, Tilda Swinton, Malcolm Gladwell, and many more), Simon Doonan offers the women of America an alternative to the cheapness and tackiness that currently pass for personal style. <i>Eccentric Glamour</i> is intended as an antidote to the epidemic of slutty dressing and porno-chic that has taken over since the arrival of Paris Hilton and Anna Nicole Smith (may she rest in peace). While the typical TV boobs 'n' Botox makeovers force every woman to look the same, the transformations this book strives to inspire are the very opposite. Dressing like a ho is not just bad taste but boring! In Simon Doonan's book, conformity is the only crime and dressing down the only faux pas. <p/> Eccentric Glamour is every woman's birthright. <b>SO SAY NO TO HO!</b>...and yes to <b>ECCENTRIC GLAMOUR!</b><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Simon Doonan is a modern Noel Coward with a dash of Auntie Mame and Liberace thrown in for good measure! <p/> --Michael Kors, <i>Project Runway</i><br><br>Who better than Simon to write about glamour and eccentricity? He is both!!!! <p/> --Diane von Fürstenberg<br>
