Book Description

Publication Date: October 20, 2005
International superstar and high fashion model Blythe has never let the fact that she is literally a doll slow her down. Rescued from toy box obscurity with the publication of Garan's first book, This Is Blythe (50,000 copies sold), the 12-inch tall diva has been celebrated in the front windows of Bloomingdales; on the cover of Women's Wear Daily; on VH1's "I Love the '70s"; in People, the New York Times, and ad campaigns for Nordstrom, Sony, and trendy Japanese department stores. In Blythe Style, she shows off 100 to-die-for outfits created for her by top designers from around the world and photographed with colorful invention by Garan, including Gucci, Prada, Versace, Christian Dior, Dolce & Gabbana, John Galliano, Paul Smith, Issey Miyake, Vivienne Westwood, and dozens more, all for the sake of charity. Trs chic!

Don't waste your money March 22, 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I expected much more from a professional photographer. I expected to be in awe, but that wasn't the case at all. I think you can go to [...] and see Blythe pics that will truly inspire you for free. I'm returning this one!

Definite waste of money!

What's the hype? February 1, 2010
Format:Paperback
I got hooked on photos of these dolls a few months ago and had heard all the talk about this book. Naturally,I wanted to see how all this Blythe mania started so I made the mistake of ordering the book instead of taking a trip to my local bookstore to have a look at it before buying. Had I done that....I would never have bought the book. Want to see some fabulous photos of these incredible dolls? Check out Flickr. They are much better than those in the book. Sorry Gina, wasn't impressed.
