Audrey Style was first published by Aurum in 2000, and has been selling and reprinting ever since. It quickly established itself not only as a beautiful, covetable item that, once picked up, had to be bought - but also as that rare breed, a book with appeal to many different constituencies and markets. Fans of Audrey Hepburn (of whom there are so many) bought it as a loving tribute to a great film actress and style icon. Fashion and design students bought it as a work of reference and inspiration. Readers of biography bought it as the account of a life that spanned everything from Breakfast at Tiffanys to tireless work for the United Nations. Now Audrey Style is finally republished in paperback, the year after Pamela Clarke Keogh's subsequent Audrey Hepburn book, the delightful What Would Audrey Do?, also published by Aurum, has sold over 10,000 copies in just six months. There are many books about Audrey Hepburn, and a seemingly inexhaustible appetitite for books about her from the bookbuying public. But Audrey Style is one of the classics, and available now to a whole new market. Pamela Clarke Keogh is also the author of What Would Audrey Do? and Jackie Style (both published by Aurum). She divides her time between New York and London.

Audrey Style

More than anything else, the name Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis is associated with style. Jackie's style was elegant yet sporty, sophisticated yet casual. Like Audrey Hepburn and Grace Kelly, Jackie came of age during the postwar years, a time of relative affluence when American women had the wherewithal to take style seriously. She was thirty-one when her husband was elected President, becoming the youngest First Lady ever, and she brought a breath of fresh air to the White House. Her style was easy to imitate and accessible to anyone; among the classic items she made popular are the sleeveless A-line shift dress and those famous big dark sunglasses. Key to the enduring popularity of Jackie Style is that it was never static; it evolved over time. In the early 1960s, she favoured prim French suits, white clafskin gloves and pillbox hats; a decade later, her trademarks included black turtlenecks and white jeans, bellbottom trousersuits and maxi coats. When she returned to Manhattan after the death of Onassis, her working woman's uniform as an editor at Doubleday consisted of softly draped trousers and silk blouses by Valentino, in the most exquisite colour combinations.

That voice, those eyes, that hair, the cars, the girls...Elvis Presley revolutionized American pop culture when, at the age of twenty-one, he became the world's first modern superstar. A Memphis Beau Brummel even before he found fame, Elvis had a personal style that, like his music, had such a direct impact on his audience that it continues to influence us to this day. Elvis Presley compellingly examines Elvis' life and style to reveal the generous, complex, spiritual man behind the fourteen-carat-gold sunglasses and answers the question, "Why does Elvis matter?" "Elvis Presley is the greatest cultural force in the twentieth century," proclaimed Leonard Bernstein. By any measure, Presley's life was remarkable. From his modest beginnings in a two-room house to his meteoric rise to international fame, everything about his life -- his outsized talent to his car collection -- clamored for attention. And he got it; even today, Elvis continues to fascinate. Written with the assistance of Elvis Presley Enterprises, Pamela Clarke Keogh's biography draws on extensive research and interviews with Presley friends and family, among them Priscilla Presley, Joe Esposito, Jerry Schilling, Larry Geller, Bernard Lansky, famed Hollywood photographer Bob Willoughby, and designer Bill Belew. Offered access to the Graceland archives, the author considered thousands of images, selecting more than one hundred color and black-and-white photographs for this book, many of them rarely seen before. Both a significant biography of the greatest entertainer of our time and a provocative celebration of what Presley means to America today, Elvis Presley introduces the man behind the myth, a very human superstar beloved by millions.
