For the Love of Style - Hardcover

"Fashion changes, but style endures." Coco Chanel knew what she was talking about: she used the transience of fashion to her advantage, revolutionizing traditional women's fashion styles at the dawn of the 20th century. Since then, styles have changed and evolved with every passing season. But what is style, and what kinds of style are there? These are precisely the questions we answer in For the Love of Style. We showcase the best-known and most exciting trends, from boho to preppy to the boy- friend look. Where did these trends come from, who influenced them, and who perfected them? This style guide explains all of this and more, with inspiring pictures and detailed texts by Corinna Williams and Nina Zywietz. We also tell you how to build the perfect wardrobe: For the Love of Style shows the must-have pieces, from trench coats to sailor shirts, for every body type and bud- get, and shares styling tips to help you get in touch with your inner fashionista.

After studying international relations and diplomacy in Heidelberg and Paris and working a number of jobs, including stints at Google in Dublin, American Apparel and broadcaster Pro7, Corinna Williams landed at Elle, where she spent nearly five years writing culture and lifestyle stories about trends in music, art, fashion, beauty, living, and travel. In late 2012, Cover was looking for a US correspondent, and the German-American moved to New York to write for the women's magazine. She soon began reporting from the US for the German edition of Harper's Bazaar. Today, she is a US editor-at-large and freelance writer.

Nina Zywietz studied psychology and sociology in Wuppertal and Los Angeles, and after several stints with various agencies, landed in London, where she worked for a large communications agency in the fashion industry. From there, her path took her to Hubert Burda Media and to Closed, where she was head of global marketing with primary responsibility for visual branding. Today, Nina works as a freelance creative director for many fashion companies, online portals, and agencies, and travels around the world for her career. She lives and works in Berlin.
