As a non-linear sensibility has come to dominate modern style; curious trendsetters have increasingly found a stimulating muse in writersmdash;many; like Joan Didion; whose personal aesthetic is distinctly "out of fashion." For decades; Didion has used her work; both her journalism and experimental fiction; as a mirror to reflect her innermost emotions and ideasmdash;an originality that has inspired Millennials; resonated with a new generation of fashion designers and cultural tastemakers; and made Didion; in her eighties; the face of Celine in 2015.

Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald; Malcolm Gladwell; Donna Tartt; John Updike; Oscar Wilde; and Tom Wolfemdash;whose work and way of dress bears an idiosyncratic stamp influencing culture today. Terry Newman combines illuminating anecdotes about authors and their work; archival photography; first-person quotations from each writer and current designers; little-known facts; and clothing-oriented excerpts that exemplify their original writing style.

Newman explores how the particular item of clothing or style has contributed to fashionrsquo;s lingua francamdash;delving deeper to appraise its historical trajectory and distinctive effect.
