The first book to celebrate the irreverent and original style of this icon of stage and screen.
Glamorous when she wanted to be and tomboyish when she didn't, Katharine Hepburn developed her personal style and public image as a style rebel. Whether on stage, on screen, or in private life, Hepburn had a firm grasp on the power of her appearance. Rather than submit to studio image makers, she controlled her image and drew on her own proclivities to create a distinct antifashion persona. This book presents the famously headstrong star in a new light: as a style icon. Through images of Hepburn's on-screen and off-screen wardrobes and essays by top fashion historians, this book reveals how modern Hepburn's insouciance and idiosyncratic manner of dressing really was and shows her as an inspirational, self-styled counterpoint to the overmanaged looks of celebrities today. Full of neverbefore-published images of Hepburn's costumes and personal wardrobe, Katharine Hepburn is a refreshing look at a true fashion original.
