He frequently name-drops to make his point. If you don't know anything about design houses or fashionistas, his allusions and examples will be lost on you. (  ) VictoriaPL | May 3, 2009 |  I love him. Need to read this!  kcar08 | Oct 1, 2008 | Includes valuable tips on good posture and basics of walking. Will always remember to do it, I hope. I'm also a big fan of the t.v. series, and the book will probably appeal more to that audience. (  ) littlefield | Aug 18, 2008 | Can you give a book a negative star rating? I hated this book. Which was rather surprising considering that I love What's You Color, What not To Wear, Chic Simple, Flatter Your Figure, Secrets of a Fashion Editor and most other books of that ilk. He was so stiff and stuffy. And so condescending and sarcastic. Basically it says not to take chances. Bleh! Life is about risk! So should your clothing style be. The only good part(s); If, however, the item causes heart palpitations of happiness, it goes in pile number one: The Soul-Stirring Pile ...They don't fit. Toss 'em. Clueless | Jan 27, 2008 | It's obviously not great literature, and it's probably not even the most useful book of fashion tips, but it was a fast, fun read. The book and its authors don't seem to take themselves too seriously, and as an unlikely Project Runway devotee and a conflicted, sporadic follower of fashion, I thought the tone was friendly and laidback. Some of the best moments were Gunn's tangential anecdotes about his mother or people he's met, and I almost wish that there was a bit more storytelling and a little less advice. I'd heard many of the fashion tips before, but for some reason, it sounds better coming from Gunn and Moloney. (  ) anotherjennifer | Sep 15, 2007 |  no reviews | add a review
