About the author
Kylie Minogue
41 books17 followersKylie Ann Minogue, OBE, is an Australian pop singer, songwriter, and actress. After beginning her career as a child actress on Australian television, she achieved recognition through her role in the television soap opera Neighbours, before commencing her career as a recording artist in 1987. Her first single, "Locomotion", spent seven weeks at number one on the Australian singles chart and became the highest selling single of the decade. This led to a contract with songwriters and producers Stock, Aitken & Waterman. Her debut album, Kylie (1988), and the single "I Should Be So Lucky", each reached number one in the United Kingdom, and over the next two years, her first 13 singles reached the British top ten. Her debut film, The Delinquents (1989) was a box-office hit in Australia and the UK despite negative reviews.
Initially presented as a "girl next door", Minogue attempted to convey a more mature style in her music and public image. Her singles were well received, but after four albums her record sales were declining, and she left Stock, Aitken & Waterman in 1992 to establish herself as an independent performer. Her next single, "Confide in Me", reached number one in Australia and was a hit in several European countries in 1994, and a duet with Nick Cave, "Where the Wild Roses Grow", brought Minogue a greater degree of artistic credibility. Drawing inspiration from a range of musical styles and artists, Minogue took creative control over the songwriting for her next album, Impossible Princess (1997). It failed to attract strong reviews or sales in the UK, but was successful in Australia.
Minogue returned to prominence in 2000 with the single "Spinning Around" and the dance-oriented album Light Years, and she performed during the closing ceremonies of the 2000 Sydney Olympics. Her music videos showed a more sexually provocative and flirtatious personality and several hit singles followed. "Can't Get You Out of My Head" reached number one in more than 40 countries, and the album Fever (2001) was a hit in many countries, including the United States, a market in which Minogue had previously received little recognition. Minogue embarked on a concert tour but canceled it when she was diagnosed with breast cancer in May 2005. After surgery and chemotherapy treatment, she resumed her career in 2006 with Showgirl: The Homecoming Tour. Her tenth studio album X was released in 2007 and was followed by the KylieX2008 tour. In 2009, she embarked upon her For You, For Me Tour, her first concert tour of the United States and Canada, and the following year released her eleventh studio album, Aphrodite.
Minogue has achieved worldwide record sales of more than 68 million,[2] and has received notable music awards, including multiple ARIA and Brit Awards and a Grammy Award. She has mounted several successful concert tours and received a Mo Award for "Australian Entertainer of the Year" for her live performances. She was awarded the Order of the British Empire "for services to music", and an Ordre des Arts et des Lettres in 2008.

This is a great pictorial collection of Kylie's photoshoots, stage costumes, and evolving style throughout the years. There is some background to the famous gold hotpants, and the infamous white jumpsuit. It also shows how photogenic Kylie is, and how fearless she is with fashion - daring to wear absolutely anything. Her stage costumes are a treat (done by luminaries such as Galliano, Gaultier and Dolce & Gabbana), and are quite Lady Gaga before there was Lady Gaga! Recommended for fans of fashion and of Kylie.

O livro liga a importância da moda para a vida e carreira da cantora. Desde quando fazia seus próprios figurinos junto a sua vó no começo da carreira e ainda aprendia a se mover diante das lentes, até o status de queridinha dos fashionistas e ícone mundial da música.
As fotografias mostram sua evolução e e sua ânsia por mudança, moldando sua personalidade através de figurinos e formando parcerias com os mais renomados estilistas. Os comentários do livro, acompanham foto por foto, a história dos bastidores e o significado de cada uma.
Ponto alto do livro é quando ela relata a diferença que a batalha com o câncer fez em seu modo de expressar, realmente incrível.

I really, really enjoyed this book! I had a similar book when I was younger, that had all the clothing featured in the Kylie Exhibit that toured and I read it to DEATH! I have always really been into fashion especially concert / theatre costuming, so Kylie Minogue fashion books are always so fun for me to look at! I loved how this was a lot more informative, having back stories and life updates told by both Kylie and William Baker that related to each piece of clothing. Overall, a really fun, quick read and a lovely coffee table book!

The intro by Jean-Paul is what designer dreams are made of.... The photos is "KylisticFantastic". Once again the photos tells the biggest story.... An expensive book but with such high quality paper, feels lovely to touch.....

Good photograph selection and some nice fashion on display, but after awhile the text became a little repetitive, as endearingly bombastic and over-the-top as it was.

I guess I never realized how much chiffon Kylie's worn over the years! Wow, wow, wow, wow!
It was a fun read! Great for a Kylie-fan!
