Your Executive Image
Your Executive Image promises to be an exciting new addition to the literature on "self packaging."It is divided into three parts--body language, wardrobe, and etiquette.In writing her comments, Ifound that Seitz uses standard references such as Color Me Beautiful orEmily Post.In short, no new material was introduced in Your ExecutiveImage.Seitz simply put together three disparate topics, summarized thetopics, and published her synopsis. ...

A Bit Out Of Date But A Good Primer On Body Shapes
Earlier editions of this book were published in the 1980s. I had that and a 1990s edition. The advice has changed very little over the years. I give this book credit for fine-tuning my knowledge of color theory beyond Carol Jackson's warm vs. cool concepts, and teaching me how to dress in scale with my body shape and features. I recommend starting with this book to get the basics, then follow it with a more current book like Kendall Farr's "Pocket Stylist" for a modern interpretation of body shapes. A big drawback to Always In Style is that the wardrobe suggestions are a bit out of date, as is the author's appearance. She has had a bad facelift. Visit your local library and compare her picture to the previous editions of this book, and you'll see what I mean.

The spectrum of body types
This book seems to have people looking for themselves specifically, when basically you need to look for your where your body type fits into the spectrum. I have upgraded my opinion
The first time I reviewed this book, I only gave it 2 stars because I couldn't figure out where I fit on her body line chart. After careful study of the wardrobe plans in the back of the book (which are really helpful; perhaps the best part of the book!) however, I finally got it and it became useful again! Although the color palettes were a good idea, she only included 8 colors for each one, not hardly enough to build a wardrobe on, and not really any advice as to how to use the colors in your wardrobe. Also, she identified secondary and tertiery palettes, but gave no actual colors to go with them (or how to combine the 2-3 palettes). Identifying my color palette was also difficult according to her classifications and I don't know if I've got it right yet. A much better book to do your own color analysis is "The Triumph of Individual Style" by Carla Mathis and Helen Villa Conner. All in all, I believe there is some good advice in this book, but it takes a lot of work and study to figure out what she is trying to tell you--you really have to read between the lines here. Another thing that irks me is that she said in her book we can get updated wardrobe plans and view the Always in Style Portfolio on the web, and get a free analysis at the QVC site, and now I can't find the first (I get a weird login screen at her website) and the second is no longer in service. ...

A look back upon the past fifty years of the women's fashion industry
Fashion, Retailing and a Bygone Era: Inside Women's Wear Daily is a look back upon the past fifty years of the women's fashion industry, as detailed by seven former editors of the Women's Wear Daily newspaper. Women's Wear Daily lasted nearly 100 years because of its mission - to present readers with the facts to aid their business decisions - and was an upstanding "must-read" for designers, manufacturers, trend makers, and marketers due to its integrity and keen eye for detail. Fashion, Retailing and a Bygone Era is packed cover to cover with fascinating, sometimes hilarious, sometimes perplexing moments in the ever-changing world of what's hot and what's not. Highly entertaining, and especially recommended for anyone interested in learning more about the demands of the fashion industry.
Stories from a Newspaper that was an International Icon
There are a few newspapers that reach the status of a must read. And there was a time when Woman's Wear (as it was called) was right up there with the Wall Street Journal, or Variety. Each of these is basically a specialty newspaper that covers one industry. Woman's Wear obviously covered the Rag Trade. From some time in the early 1950's to the end of the 1960's Woman's Wear was a must read. Today it is still a big paper, but nothing like it was.
