If you watch Project Run­way, you are famil­iar with Nina Gar­cia. At the time this book was writ­ten, she was the Fash­ion Direc­tor at Elle Magazine.

It took awhile to warm up to her, but I have grown to really like her and have always respected her opin­ion. She is hon­est and doesn’t really become harsh unless provoked.

The Lit­tle Black Book of Style, does not dis­ap­point. Nina tells about her­self and her fash­ion back­ground with such wink-and-a-smile style , you can’t help but want to hear more.

This is not an insid­ers blab-fest about fash­ion design­ers and mod­els. This is a fun and seri­ous look at how what you wear asserts your iden­tity. There are lots of fun quotes and advice from fash­ion design­ers, mod­els, celebri­ties, styl­ists etc. She gives  insight about how dif­fer­ent coun­tries view fash­ion. She relates fash­ion and the emo­tion of it to music, movies and icons…calling Audrey Hep­burn. Audrey? Audrey?

Some may scoff…okay, a lot may scoff… but fash­ion is a multi-billion dol­lar busi­ness that is rooted firmly in our lit­tle –some­times inse­cure — Diva psy­ches. Why not accept a lit­tle guid­ance from Dolce Div­ina Nina while sip­ping some pros­ecco and nib­bling on some olives…per­ché no?

From one Diva to another…I highly rec­om­mend it!
