Cool Mothers

<p>Some mothers are punk. Others are hippies, chic power dressers or free-spirited bohemians. Many resist labels altogether. These richly illustrated pages offer a joyful celebration of our mothers’ clothes and how their style choices – practical, political or deeply personal – left a lasting imprint on the culture around us.</p><p><strong><em>Cool Mothers: An Appreciation of Style</em></strong> places maternal style exactly where it belongs: at the centre of fashion history. A jacket, a handbag, a hairclip, a bracelet worn every day for decades… these details define our mothers as women of their time, subtly revealing the person beyond the role of motherhood, what they resisted, what they embraced, and how they balanced selfhood with responsibility.</p><p>Perfect for mothers, fashion lovers and anyone interested in the rich intersection of motherhood, identity and dress. Featuring such distinctly stylish mothers as Angela Missoni, Elizabeth Taylor, Josephine Baker, Princess Diana, Vivienne Westwood, Courtney Love and many others.</p>
