FOR THE LOVE OF STYLE

Fashion changes, but style remains. Coco Chanel knew what she was talking about: she used the transience of fashion to her advantage by revolutionizing the fashion of traditional ladies at the beginning of the 20th century. Since then, styles have changed and evolved with each passing season.

But what is style and what style is there? These are exactly the questions we answer in For the Love of Style. We present the best known and most exciting trends, from boho to preppy to the boyfriend look. Where do these trends come from, who influenced them and who perfected them? This style guide explains all this and more, with inspiring photos and detailed texts by Corinna Williams and Nina Zywietz.

We'll also tell you how to build the perfect wardrobe: For the Love of Style showcases the must-have pieces, from trench coats to sailor shirts, for every body type and budget, and shares styling tips to help you connect with your inner fashionista . After studying international relations and diplomacy in Heidelberg and Paris and working a number of jobs, including stints at Google in Dublin, American Apparel and broadcaster Pro7, CORINNA WILLIAMS landed in Elle, where she spent nearly five years writing culture and lifestyle stories about trends in music, art, fashion, beauty, living and travel.

At the end of 2012, Cover was looking for an American correspondent and the German-American moved to New York to write for the women's magazine (which was completed in early 2014). She soon began reporting from the US for the German edition of Harpers Bazaar. Today she is an American editor and freelance writer.
