Authentic personal
style comes from understanding our bodies, recognizing the
demands of
our particular lifestyle, mining our experiences, and
finding what we
really like. —Randolph Duke
Randolph Duke’s The
Look
is a guide to personal style unlike any other. Duke knows high
fashion—he has dressed Hollywood A-listers for the red
carpet for
years—but more important, he understands that putting
together a truly
fabulous look has everything to do with the woman who’s
wearing it.
Every woman already knows what she does and doesn’t like, so
The Look
wastes no time prescribing one-size-fits-all fashion solutions.
Instead, it helps women make today’s sometimes-intimidating
array of
options work cleverly and beautifully for them.
It
all starts
with body type. Once you’ve identified your shape from five
broad
categories, you’ll learn to choose clothing that maximizes your
positive features and downplays less desirable ones. Then,
you can shop
for flattering outfits that fit your lifestyle, whether
you’re a fan of
bohemian or preppy, urban chic or country living. The
Look also
teaches you to mine your own closet (and your friends’,
too!) for
pieces that can be refreshed or repurposed for a whole new
look.
Great
style is more about a state of mind than it is about a designer
wardrobe or a fat bank account. Learning to respect your
body and your
own taste is a critical part of Duke’s philosophy. Exercises
throughout
the book help you identify what inspires you as you update
your look
and feel ever more gorgeous in your own skin. Stunning
photographs of
real, stylish women, from linear-figured supermodel Cheryl
Tiegs to
hourglassy fashion writer Merle Ginsberg, will encourage you
to mix up
and play with fashion to send your own message.
With
expert tips
on everything from making occasion-appropriate accessories
choices and
matching makeup to your ensemble to spicing up your outfit with
personality pieces and stocking up on essentials for work,
play, and
evenings out, The Look gives you all the tools you
need to let your personal style shine through.
