Taylor Swift’s Style Evolution Turns Into a Book Featuring 200 Looks From Her Different Fashion Eras

Taylor Swift‘s fashion style has mirrored her musical evolution since the release of her namesake first album in 2006. The singer became known for using her wardrobe choices to complement her art as well as an opportunity to create new trends, make statements and drop hints about upcoming projects. So, the mission of cataloging some of the main looks worn throughout her 18-year career was exciting for Sarah Chapelle, author of the upcoming book “Taylor Swift Style: Fashion Through the Eras.”

“At her core, Taylor Swift is a storyteller and she uses both her lyrics and her outfits to communicate, to craft a narrative, to evoke memories and to create iconography,” Chapelle told WWD. “Over the course of her career, just as she’s had a musical evolution from album to album, she’s also tied each body of work she’s created to a distinct, identifiable ‘era’ of fashion.”

The book, which will be released on Oct. 8, will feature 200 looks showcasing the singer’s style evolution, from her youthful boho dresses and cowboy boots during her debut era to more sophisticated silhouettes and luxury brands while promoting “1989” in 2014, and investing in sparkling, bejeweled outfits for “Midnights” in 2022.

Chapelle, who has been following Swift since her early years, decided to catalogue the looks as a continuation of her Taylor Swift Style blog, which she created in 2011. There, she identifies Swift’s fashion while providing commentary on what the singer is wearing and why she is wearing it. “The book is partially informed by the most memorable looks fans love in addition to outfits I deemed we may have missed along the way,” Chapelle said.
