From one of Canada's most acclaimed biographers, a deliciously wicked and revealing look at five women who were icons of style:
¸ Eugénie, Empress of France
¸ Elinor Glyn, successful pulp novelist
¸ Marlene Dietrich, the most imitated woman in the world
¸ Wallis Simpson, the woman the King could not live without
¸ and Jackie Kennedy, the enigmatic First Lady who influenced women's fashion for decades to come
Marian Fowler takes us along as she peers into a great many wardrobes, hat boxes and jewel cases to reveal how these five extraordinary women wrote their life stories in the universal language of clothes.
