Andrea Linett, vice president and global creative director for Michael Kors (michaelkors.com), is no stranger to noticing great style: In her new book, I Want to Be Her! (out Saturday 1 from Abrams Image), she recalls in amazing detail the well-dressed ladies who have helped shape her personal fashion sense—everyone from a nameless woman at the airport to Kate Moss and former coworkers at Lucky, which she cofounded in 2000. She also writes a blog by the same name (iwanttobeher.com), where she provides styling tips derived from the chic outfits of females she stops on the street. On a recent weekday afternoon, we had Linett—clad in Michael Kors white jeans, an AG Adriano Goldschmied tee, an authentic Boy Scouts shirt purchased on eBay and Rick Owens boots—use her eagle eye to scout voguish gals in Nolita and Soho. It turns out Linett has a soft spot for shopgirls, the ’80s and European style—the vast majority of women we stopped had foreign accents.
