Book Reviews of Tim Gunn: A Guide to Quality, Taste and Style (Tim Gunn's Guide to Style)

Book Review: Fun Read
Summary: 3 Stars

While reading this book it was like I heard Tim reading it to me himself. I did gain a few ideas about updating my wardrobe from him, but what I really liked about the book was the context it gave me. It really was able to help understand some fashion terms (there is a glossary but he also explains things in the book) and now I truly know what "gamine" means and looks like. I found the quotes fun, and the the hints and tips at the start and end of the chapter really did help me. Best of all I loved the included movie list. I will keep this one on my shelf and not send it to the used book store.

Summary of Tim Gunn: A Guide to Quality, Taste and Style (Tim Gunn's Guide to Style)

There seems to be no one more qualified or equipped to ponder or even, dare I say, dictate 'quality, taste, and style' than Tim." -Sarah Jessica Parker, actor/producer

Television has introduced the world to a new fashion authority: Tim Gunn. As Bravo's style mentor and Chair of the Fashion Design Department at Parsons The New School for Design, Tim delivers advice in a frank, witty, and authoritative manner that delights audiences.

Now readers can benefit from Tim's considerable fashion wisdom in Tim Gunn: A Guide to Quality, Taste & Style. He discusses every aspect of creating and maintaining your personal style: how to dress for various occasions, how to shop (from designer to chain to vintage stores), how to pick a fashion mentor, how to improve your posture, find the perfect fit, and more. He'll challenge every reader-whether a seasoned fashionista or a style neophyte-to "make it work!"
