From Publishers Weekly In this brief but thorough fashion guidebook, renowned fashion designer Duke shares insights on how to reclaim personal style, identify body shape, accessorize and cultivate authentic style. The guide's strength is Duke's friendly approach to informing the reader: he does not dictate what to wear (or what not to), but rather encourages readers to trust their personal style while teaching them to make informed decisions based on malleable guidelines which can be shaped to cater to one's unique sense.

very poor layout, too much text For a book about fashion and dressing, this book was laid out poorly. Because there is an overload of text, it really needed to be better organized visually so that the user could quickly find sections of interest and grasp the main points. I feel like I'm being forced to read a text book. The editors should have looked at the InStyle 'how to dress' books and compare the difference.I'm sure Duke knows a ton about fashion and have great information to share. It's too bad the communication of it is blocked.Need more photos.. "Very helpful book" according to A. Hansen. This book was very helpful. I now understand why certain apparel looks good on my body type and others don't. I cleaned out my closet and then went shopping armed with this information and feel, for the first time, that all my purchases were a good investment for me.. unbelievable This book answers so many questionsit is as if Randolph is alongside, advising you what to STOP wearing! the price of this book is nothing compared to the knowledge gained with Mr. DukeRandolph, PLEASE do volumes 2, 3, unbelievable lucy This book answers so many questionsit is as if Randolph is alongside, advising you what to STOP wearing! the price of this book is nothing compared to the knowledge gained with Mr. DukeRandolph, PLEASE do volumes 2, 3, 4.as we can never get enough insight into WHY certain things don''t mix well together.
