Fashion First Summary

Fashion First by Diane Keaton Keaton

Since she could remember, Keaton has been fascinated by clothing and style. As a little girl, she would pick out patterns and request that her mother make her custom outfits. This was the beginning of a love affair with clothes and looks, and sometimes, fashion. From the outset of her acting career in the 1970s, the legendary star has experimented and thought outside the lines of what a Hollywood icon should wear and still became lauded as a style icon by Vogue, W, The Hollywood Reporter, and countless fashion websites. Keaton s style is at once timeless, experimental, bold, effortless, androgynous, quirky, and utterly and distinctly her own. This is the celebrated film star s ode to her unforgettable fashion moments examined through Keaton s self-deprecating, charming voice, as she comments on her favorite looks to her biggest fashion faux pas. Imagery includes photos of a young Keaton sporting her mother s homemade ensembles, stylish snapshots from the 1960s and iconic 1970s looks highlighting her signature Annie Hall style, to red carpet moments, magazine editorials, street style shots, and selfies from the 80s until present day. Striking fashion photographs by renowned photographers such as Annie Leibovitz, Ruven Afanador, and Ron Gallela are accompanied by anecdotes on Keaton s inspiring style from her longtime friends, collaborators, and fashion designers, including Giorgio Armani, Ralph Lauren, Sarah Jessica Parker, Kris Jenner, Nancy Myers, Blake Lively, and Thom Browne. Truly entertaining and stylish, this is the book fashion lovers and fans of the inimitable actor have been waiting for.

Fashion First Reviews

"The most surprising revelation to me from Keatons book about fashion is how her style has changed through her decades. Because her looks have always been so true to her, I hadnt noticed the shifts, just as you dont notice a good friends face changing as they age. But of course they have, just as all of us change as the years pass for the better, hopefully." The Times

"The 78-year-old actress has gathered a voluminous selection of her most celebrated, most treasured and most questionable looks in a new book, Fashion First, annotated with her warm, witty reflections. Most people couldnt get away with publishing a book of hundreds of pictures of themselves across more than 300 pages, let alone one sprinkled with love notes from Kris Jenner, Miley Cyrus, Nancy Meyers and Sarah Jessica Parker. But Keatons self-effacement provides an unexpectedly insightful foray into the unconventional mind of a legendary actress. She is one of the rare people who can put adequate words to clothes." The Washington Post

"Keatons book Fashion First, out this month from Rizzoli, is an elevated scrapbook of sorts that begins with her early days in ruffled Shirley Temple dresses, home-sewn by her mother, and careens through what, in 2024 parlance, you might call her fashion eras. There were sartorial detours aplenty along the way: a leopard-print DVF wrap jumpsuit worthy of Studio 54, mod minis, and even a short-lived blonde moment. But soon, the style Keaton would become known for crystallized into an iconic silhouette: menswear suiting in the mode of Dietrich and Hepburn." Elle

"Diane Keatonhas been considered a style icon for nearly 50 years, since her menswear-heavy wardrobe in Annie Hall arrived on screens in 1977 and forever cemented itself in cinematic fashion history. Keaton, now 78, has loved clothes her whole life, and has remained an individual dresser through the years, still turning to menswear but also full skirts, wide-belted coats and hats many, many hats.In September,Rizzoliwill release Fashion First, with a foreword byRalph Laurenand commentary from the likes of Miley Cyrus, Kris Jenner,Sarah Jessica Parkerand Candice Bergen. Keaton takes the reader through her first memories of fashion to her red carpet looks and even breaking down some of her wrong fashion choices." Women's Wear Daily

"Reading through Diane Keatons Fashion First is a little like seeing a legacy band on tour. Sure, theres some time spent on looks that followed outdated trends and experimental phases, but thats overshadowed by the sheer number of hits. The book is organized like a photo album with a loose chronological structure, beginning with a handful of baby photos, including snaps of a toddler Keaton wearing a bowler hat. Handwritten captions add moments of intimacy to a glossy, photo-heavy tome. Still, Keaton maintains a self-effacing charm throughout, including several misses alongside her greatest hits, all the while insisting that style matters. The undercurrent of humor elevates the book from mere fashion bible (although it is that) to an essential record of how to be cool."BookPage
