Self-Help
The hilarious, beloved cohost of TLC’s What Not to
Wear examines the universal obstacles all
women—including herself—put in their way
With
her unique talent for seeing past disastrous wardrobes to
the core emotional issues that caused these sartorial
crises, style savant Stacy London has transformed not only
the looks but also the lives of hundreds of guests who have
appeared on What Not to Wear. Now for the first time
in print, London turns that expert X-ray insight on
herself.
Like the women she’s transformed, London has
plenty of emotional baggage. At eleven, she suffered from
severe psoriasis that left her with permanent physical and
mental scars. During college, she became anorexic on a
misguided quest for perfection. By the time she joined the
staff at Vogue, London’s weight had doubled from
binge eating. Although self-esteem and self-consciousness
nearly sabotaged a promising career, London learned the hard
way that we wear our insecurities every day. It wasn’t until
she found the self-confidence to develop a strong personal
style that she finally became comfortable in her
skin.
In The Truth About Style, London shares
her own often painful history and her philosophy of the
healing power of personal style—illustrating it with a
series of detailed “start-overs” with eight real women,
demonstrating how personal style helps them overcome the
emotional obstacles we all face. For anyone who has ever
despaired of finding the right clothes, or even taking an
objective assessment in a full-length mirror, The Truth
About Style will be an inspiring, liberating, and often
very funny guide to finding the expression of your
truest self.
