À propos de ce contenu audio
In this celebration of style, from the moment she entered the public eye during her husband’s U.S. Senate campaign through her time as the first Black First Lady and today as one of this country’s most influential figures, Michelle Obama shares how she uses the beauty and intrigue of fashion to draw attention to her message.
Featuring the voices of Meredith Koop, Obama’s trusted stylist, as well as her makeup artist Carl Ray, hairstylists Yene Damtew, Johnny Wright, and Njeri Radway, and many of the designers who have dressed Obama for notable events, The Look brings readers behind the scenes not only to reveal how her most memorable looks came together but also to tell a powerful story about how we present ourselves.
Obama’s intimate and candid stories illuminate how her approach to dressing has evolved throughout her life—from the colorful sheath dresses, cardigans, and brooches she wore during her time as First Lady to the bold suits, denim, and braids of her post-White House life and all the active looks and beautiful gowns in between.
In The Look, Michelle Obama explores the joy and the purpose of fashion and beauty and how—when wielded with grace and care—they can uplift and affirm the values one holds most dear. Confidence, she concludes, cannot be put on. But when you’re wearing something that’s intentional or beloved, clothing can make you feel like the best version of yourself.
* This audiobook edition includes a downloadable PDF featuring select photographs from the hardcover edition of The Look.
Commentaires
“Michelle Obama’s new book is a historical document dressed up as a coffee-table tome . . . It lays bare, in an unprecedented (and easy-to-read) way, how a wardrobe was transformed into a vehicle of soft political power . . . The Look should be studied by generations to come because of what it reveals not about fashion, but about politics.”—Vanessa Freidman, The New York Times
“[Obama] writes well, and honestly, about the havoc it can wreak on one’s sense of self to have to dress every morning for what would be, for the majority of people, the most visible day of their lives . . . The Look, an unprecedented project among first ladies, may be the only first-person book to give such devoted treatment to the place of image-making in presidential politics. Some of the The Look’s best commentary on that topic comes from the members of Obama’s style and beauty team, who contribute writing about the nuts and bolts of zhuzhing up one of the most famous women in the world.”—Slate Magazine
“[A] delightful tip of the hat to the pleasures—and power—of glamour.”— Kirkus Reviews
“[A] fashionista’s fantasy come true . . . But The Look is more than just fashion mood-board fodder . . . In The Look, [Obama] is holding a mirror up to the culture that has ogled her and women like her for years.”— Oprah Daily
“The evolution of Obama’s personal aesthetic, from the time Barack was elected for his first term in office to now, is finally given its due in The Look. Reading it grants an unedited look . . . at her sartorial choices—outside of the external commentary–backed echo chamber that cropped up while she served in one of the most important and public-facing positions of our time.”— WWD Magazine
