Literature: "Power Dressing: First Ladies, Women Politicians & Fashion"


Robb Young gives an analysis of the majority of power women in the world and what wardrobe pieces achieve the control. He begins in 1,489 BC with Egyptian Queen, Hatshepsut. Power dressing back then was a bare chest, shendyt kilt, false metal beard and a cobra inspired headdress. Then he moves into Marie Antoinette and Queen Elizabeth I. Both women included full dresses, extreme make-up and bold collars in their wardrobe.

Jacqueline Kennedy, Princess Diana, Hillary Clinton, Margaret Thatcher and Condoleezza Rice are a few examples of power women from the 1960s and today. Colors that these ladies have identified as commanding are: royal blue, crimson and Marigold. Finally, Robb Young has determined a few other power pieces to include in your look. Such as hair down, lipstick, silk scarves and power pearls. Read this Thursday's post to see how you can become a power woman yourself!
