Fashion is one thing. Style is another. And knowing how to put a look together is another thing entirely. When Fashion Director Kay Barron (Net A Porter, Harpers Bazaar, Grazia, Vogue, Gentlewoman, The Face, AnOther, The Times) decided to break it down in book form, she wanted to include insights from global style icons renowned for a single aspect of great dressing. I drew up a list of women who had nailed it, and secured contributions by (among others)

Sarah Jessica Parker on Shoes (of COURSE)

Monica Bellucci on How to Wear Black (what else?)

Emma Grede on All Things Denim (she knows)

Oprah Winfrey on Winter Dressing (the master)

Sofia Richie Grainge on Summer Dressing (California girl)

Jodie Turner Smith on The Art of Colour (who knew it was possible?)

Law Roach on Events (hello, Zendaya)

Ruth E Carter on Vintage (4 x Oscar noms, 2 x WINS)
