Description: "...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 curators, historians, and writers, this book reveals how modern Hepburn's insouciance and idiosyncratic manner of dressing really was, and shows her as an inspirational, self-styled coutepoint to celebrities today. Full of never-before-published images from Hepburn's personal collection of costumes from her extraordinary career, Katharine Hepburn : rebel chic is a refreshing look at a true fashion original" -- page 2 of cover.
