Don’t Bother As a fashion blogger, I love to read style books. So I was quite excited for this book especially since it’s written by Eric Daman. I figured the man who dresses the Gossip Girl cast so spectacularly would surely write a fantastic, well-informed book. However, I’m disappointed to say that this book was a complete waste of money.The book features incredibly basic information that a majority of people are already well aware of. For instance, there are pages dedicated to the different styles of skirts, jeans, tops, and cardigans. There is even two pages dedicated to classifying different skirt lengths! Aren’t we all already aware of what classifies a skirt as mini, knee-length, ankle length, etc.? There are even sections on types of bras and underwear. Seriously, how superfluous is that? (Come on, Daman! Is this the best you could do, really?)At twenty-one years old I found this information to be completely useless. I didn’t learn anything new from Daman. Perhaps…
Abysmal and juvenile – waste of time and money. I literally have never seen a fashion book that bad. I like the style on Gossip Girl and I was really looking toward this book. I have pretty much everything else on subject – InStyle and Lucky books, Rachel Zoe, Victoria Beckham, books of Chanel, Carolina Herrera, The Pocket Stylist etc etc. Any one of them is vastly superior to this book. I am absolutely baffled that any agent would look at this book and think this will be a success.If you have never read a single fashion magazine, then perhaps this book will be of interest. There are maximum 10 photos, rest are drawings. Text is so on the 5th grade level ie. 2 pages on there are 4 types of sweater: turtleneck, tunic, v-neck and crew neck. Stunning, isn’t it? And comments that go along are: V-neck for victory! Sail your crewneck to the shore or smth stupid like that.Not sure who is targeting either. On one section he shows how to cut up a t-shirt (which everyone has already done), then there’s a picture of neon pink…
