So yes, it’s like reading "People" magazine (which I honestly only read at my hairstylist’s) but it’s also history so that makes it legit, right? Or maybe just think of it as a guilty pleasure. The book is divided into four segments, one for each of the royal women – Queen Elizabeth, Diana, Kate & Meghan. Beautiful clothes and speculation on color choices, hem lengths, accessories (hats, jewelry, shoes), hairstyles, and maternity wear. This fascinating book was written by Elizabeth Holmes, an American writer and journalist based in San Francisco who is known for her coverage of British royal style and fashion messaging. Yes, that’s a term – “fashion messaging.” Much of the book is spent dissecting the meaning behind the choice of color, style, hem length, as well as the nods and references to Diana and/or the Queen. Five pages of “Selected Bibliography” at the conclusion list all the books, periodicals, broadcast shows, etc. that were reviewed in researching this “nuanced look at the style and branding of the most influential members of the modern British royal family.” Clothing always represents something, whether deliberate or unintentional. It’s easier to interpret when you know the dynamics (hindsight being 20/20). Whether you read this book for the historic insights into the royal women, or because you enjoy seeing beautiful people wearing beautiful clothes, you can’t deny that you will discover what is promised in the title: “So Many Thoughts on Royal Style.” sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
"Veteran fashion journalist Elizabeth Holmes expands her popular Instagram Stories series, "So Many Thoughts," into a nuanced look at the style, branding, and positioning of the four most influential contemporary British Royals: Queen Elizabeth II; Diana, Princess of Wales; Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge; and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex. Today, the fashion choices of Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle are frequently headline news. More than just wearing beautiful clothes - and they are really beautiful - these women dress with purpose. Their choices of color, silhouettes, and brands send a message about their values, interests, and place within the royal family. But to fully understand what Kate and Meghan are wearing, one must look to two style icons that came before them: Queen Elizabeth II and Diana, Princess of Wales. For nearly seven decades, the Queen has made her wardrobe work for her, settling into a uniform of colorful coats and hats that make her instantly recognizable. Diana unlocked royal fashion's ability to shock and awe, earning a spot on the front page and rejuvenating interest in the crown. Kate introduced a welcome relatability with her accessible choices, unleashing a shopping frenzy in the process. Meghan, a biracial American and a working actor, brought a new audience and aesthetic, as well as her social media savvy to the mix. With one section devoted to each woman, HRH pairs hundreds of gorgeous photographs with extensive research to paint a vivid portrait of each woman's fashion preferences, messaging, and evolution. The sections on each will be a seamless combination of major moments and notable details, from the choice of each woman's wedding dress designer to the meaning of a single bow tied on a ponytail. But mostly, through these four biographies, a picture emerges of the evolution of the British monarchy over the past century, showing royal fashion is so much more than what meets the eye."-- No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
