I'm not sure what to make of this book. I couldn't wait to get my hands on this because I love the clothes in Gossip Girl (TV) and the author is the costume designer for the series. I was/am still very disappointed that there aren't ANY photos (apart from ONE of Serena in her school uniform) from Gossip Girl in here because I think he's done a great job for the TV series and seeing/describing those outfits would have been much more useful than discussing theory. It covers the usual themes: what kind of tops/pants/skirts/lengths makes you look good/bad and what you should combine with them - but there are only 2-3 sentences on each. The wardrobe basics part is mostly devoted to jeans. I suppose the accessories are interesting to look at. There are many beautiful pictures and outfits, I find the whole thing very artistic, but you only need an evening to read through it. And at least for me, it's not detailed enough that I can refer back to it for inspiration. My advice: if at all possible, try and find a copy to look through first and then decide. Sadly, I don't think I feel this book was worth buying. I've bought quite a few fashion books and they're all fairly similar (that means unhelpful)... The ones I've referred to most are probably Victoria Beckham's That Extra Half An Inch, Rachel Zoe's Style A to Zoe, Who What Wear: Celebrity and Runway Style for Real Life and Paula Reed's Style Clinic.
FYI, the book is divided into:
Basics: spotlight on you, want it need it have to have it, closet case
Inspirations: think like a stylist, color me beautiful, who are you today
Style: elements of style, rule breakers
Maintenance: behind the seams
Update: I've made a video review, showing pages from each chapter. I hope you find it useful.

Abysmal and juvenile - waste of time and money.
15. Januar 2010
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
I literally have never seen a fashion book that bad. I like the style on Gossip Girl and I was really looking toward this book. I have pretty much everything else on subject - InStyle and Lucky books, Rachel Zoe, Victoria Beckham, books of Chanel, Carolina Herrera, The Pocket Stylist etc etc. Any one of them is vastly superior to this book. I am absolutely baffled that any agent would look at this book and think this will be a success.
If you have never read a single fashion magazine, then perhaps this book will be of interest. There are maximum 10 photos, rest are drawings. Text is so on the 5th grade level ie. 2 pages on there are 4 types of sweater: turtleneck, tunic, v-neck and crew neck. Stunning, isn't it? And comments that go along are: V-neck for victory! Sail your crewneck to the shore or smth stupid like that.
Not sure who is targeting either. On one section he shows how to cut up a t-shirt (which everyone has already done), then there's a picture of neon pink leggings next to a pencil skirt. I was bewildered. Any fashion book will have the content of this one but so much more. This guy is so lucky to have a job.

Don't Bother
25. Januar 2010
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
As a fashion blogger, I love to read style books. So I was quite excited for this book especially since it's written by Eric Daman. I figured the man who dresses the Gossip Girl cast so spectacularly would surely write a fantastic, well-informed book. However, I'm disappointed to say that this book was a complete waste of money.
The book features incredibly basic information that a majority of people are already well aware of. For instance, there are pages dedicated to the different styles of skirts, jeans, tops, and cardigans. There is even two pages dedicated to classifying different skirt lengths! Aren't we all already aware of what classifies a skirt as mini, knee-length, ankle length, etc.? There are even sections on types of bras and underwear. Seriously, how superfluous is that? (Come on, Daman! Is this the best you could do, really?)
At twenty-one years old I found this information to be completely useless. I didn't learn anything new from Daman. Perhaps the information within this book is better suited to a middle-schooler who knows nothing about clothing.
Bottom line: Don't waste your money. If you really still want to read it, go to a bookstore, take a seat, and read it. It will take all of fifteen minutes.

Bad

Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
I'm so glad I didn't end up ordering this book, but looked through it (it took all of ten seconds) at the bookstore instead. I expected it to be full of pictures of cool clothes, fun gossip girl fashion and inspiration. This has none of that. The paper quality is even bad! There are barely any pictures, the fashion that IS there is awful and unwearable, and the "inspirations" are things we've already seen a million times (turtleneck, t-shirt, basic dress...)yawn. Maybe buy used, but even then, don't bother with this book unless you're in 6th grade.
