I Want to Be Her! is part memoir and part illustrated
fashion guide, written by one of fashion's most accessible,
trusted, and inspiring writers. Andrea Linett, the cofounder of
Lucky magazine, shares her personal story of growing up
and finding her way to fashion, and the figures who guided her
along the way. Through short descriptions and memories, we meet 50
women across five eras of her life-some passing strangers, some
casual friends, some close confidantes-who each made a lasting
impression and helped her form her own personal style. In addition,
each woman is captured in an illustration by Linett's longtime
collaborator, Anne Johnston Albert, and fashion tips accompany each
entry.
