Image as Creative Control

Aguilera's story is unusually relevant to a fashion guide because the turning point of her career was explicitly about image. After a debut album of number-one singles and two triple-platinum follow-ups, she was, in the record's own terms, displeased with her lack of input in her image and music — and Stripped (2002) was the correction, an album whose international chart-toppers 'Dirrty' and 'Beautiful' arrived with a deliberately new public look. For a celebrity musician, styling is part of authorship, and Aguilera claimed that authorship earlier and more openly than most of her contemporaries.
