Book Reviews of The Pocket Stylist: Behind-the-Scenes Expertise from a Fashion Pro on Creating Your Own Look
Book Review: What a disappointment!!!
Summary: 2 Stars
The Pocket Stylist is supposed to be all about the visual effects of clothes, colours, textures etc, and yet there is not one photgraph to illustrate any of the points being explained. Which is ironic as the author states on the back cover of her book her husband is a photographer!!! Instead there are pages and pages of text, with one or two accompanying line drawings. This has got to be the most unstimulating book on fashion/colour/style I have ever read. Surely it is much easier to show a picture of the ideal style of jacket (for example) than explain in three pages the look you are wanting to achieve. What this book takes 6 pages to describe, Trinny and Susanne do with one fantastic photograph.Perhaps there are lots of useful facts in the book, but trawling through pages and pages of text took the joy out of what should have been visually stimuating and motivating.
An absolutely boring experience!
