"Fashion changes but style endures", Coco Chanel knew what she was talking about: she used the transience of fashion to her advantage, revolutionising 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 exciting trends, from boho to preppy to the boy-friend look. Where did these trends come from, who influenced them and who perfected them?
