Title: Style by Elsa Klensch, Beryl Meyer ISBN: 0-399-52152-6 Publisher: Berkley Publishing Group Pub. Date: 01 September, 1995 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $15.00 |
Average Customer Rating: 3.6 (5 reviews)
Rating: 3
Summary: Just ok
Comment: I agree with the other reviewer....Elsa is definitely no nonsense ..to the point.
My biggest disappointment with the book is it seemed so geared towards women who are currently in high profile careers...even beauty related. I pursued my career until 32 when I started having children. I don't think Elsa ever makes any reference to a woman that does anything other than a high profile career.
As a mother of two young children...I may not be attending posh nightly parties...and the like...however I still have an interest in maintaining and developing my style. This book seemed a little too geared toward the entertainment/modelling industry for me.
I do appreciate her closing comments "to choose something just because you like it...is not enough"
This is a big mistake I made for years...buying clothes and accesories cause I liked them....not because they suited me.
I learned the hard way.
All in all there were a few good tips....but more practical examples and pictures would have better served the books purpose....and less photos of paper thin models who make up such a small percentage of the North American population

Summary: nice photographs, useful tips
Comment: This is a very, very easy, quick read with lots of quotes, photographs, drawings, and checklists. Klensch is very no-nonsense, with advice on how to build a simple, bare-bones wardrobe. The chapters are broken down into career, business travel, evening, leisure, accessories, and cosmetics. The only humor or lightness I found in the entire book was that "good-luck charm" made this list of "long-flight must-haves." THis is one of those books that is useful and practical, but more as a reference guide than as a read-through. Although the advice is geared to women of all shapes and sizes, the photographs are all of rail-thin runway models.
