Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Time to go in the closet…and take a tough-love look at what’s inside!

Wardrobe consultant to the stars, fashion journalist, and style guru Barbra Horowitz is on call for a little clothes therapy. With expert guidance and extremely practical how-tos, Horowitz shows how simple it is to send your fashion-happiness quotient into the stratosphere. She outlines the personality traits common to all clothes hounds, describes her unique fashion philosophy, and introduces her core concept of “eco-selfishness:” working with what you already have to get what you really want by revamping, recycling, and reselling. Throughout, there are easy instructions for restyling clothes along with sidebars packed with streamlining tips and case studies of real-life wardrobe renovations. Plus: the book includes a full-length DVD of a real-life closet therapy session!

1.0 out of 5 stars Fashionistas Beware!, November 17, 2007

By	Anonymous (USA) - See all my reviews

I received this book today and I am posting this review ASAP for all of the fashionistas who might be tempted to purchase this book. Don't! The title leads you to believe that this is about closet organization and fashion advice. Wrong! Even though the book does touch on closet organization, it's mostly on how to alter or turn your t-shirts in tube tops and halters and dying your clothes. As a fan of vintage fashion, I found it scary that the author even encourages readers to alter and dye vintage clothing to make it more modern. Fashionistas should know that this destroys the line of the piece and if you want modern you shouldn't be wearing vintage. This book is totally useless unless you want to look like a hooker or white trash.

2.0 out of 5 stars Common Sense, October 18, 2008

By	Charles W. Shaffer (Asheville, NC) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Mostly common sense - thick chapters dedicated to clothing design, sewing, tailoring, fashion. I wish I'd saved my money. Good book and CD included if you are into all this effort at reusing clothing instead of just interested in a fantastic closet design which you won't find here.
