The extent to which I actively take part within the style universe usually begins and ends with songs from David Bowie and the Kinks. So, whereas I’m most actually not the target market for Dressed to Swill, creator/editor Jennifer Croll and illustrator Daiana Ruiz do a wonderful job inventing cocktail recipes impressed by style icons starting from legends to their muses. Together with lovely illustrations of every cocktail’s inspiration, there are transient and informative biographies to learn together with whereas sipping. This proves extremely helpful for non-fashion-conscious folks.

The recipes themselves are simple, minimal, and supply little problem for seasoned cocktail makers, however there are surprises to be discovered of their simplicity. The crème de violette-Champagne-lavender combo of the Coco Chanel is a welcome different to fruit-heavy seasonal choices, and the aloe vera-gin-crème de cassis of the Rei Kawakubo is a tribute worthy of Kawakubo’s avant-garde visionary works. Whereas actually not for everybody, Dressed to Swill does its job effectively and will present the premise for a lot of a themed celebration centered round style reveals, pink carpet pre-show award gatherings, or perhaps a well-constructed photoshoot for the hidden social media influencer lodged someplace inside all of us.
