El estilo de cada quien es el reflejo de su personalidad. Este libro ayuda a los lectores a encontrar y combinar aquellos elementos que mejor proyectan dicho estilo frente a siacute; mismo y a los demaacute;s. Para el periodista y experto en moda; la palabra ldquo;estilordquo; no significa simplemente vestir a la moda. El hecho de adoptar de manera automaacute;tica cualquier tendencia que se impone y recurrir sin mayor criterio a determinadas prendas; ciertos accesorios o algunas actitudes nada tiene que ver con el estilo. Eacute;ste se relaciona; maacute;s bien; con el conocimiento de uno mismo y de lo que cada quien espera de la vida. El concepto de estilo es algo muy personal que cada quien va construyendo de acuerdo con la propia personalidad y sus intereses individuales. Antonio Gonzaacute;lez de Cosiacute;o pone a nuestra disposicioacute;n una gran diversidad de elementos relacionados con el estilo para que cada lector los adapte y haga suyos.

Great overview of the (business) history of fashionBy Ilya GrigorikFantastic book about the commercial history and the business of fashion as a whole. The author provides a collection of brief historical accounts of all the major brands and labels: how they came to be; a brief introduction to each designer; and how and why they succeeded; or failed; in the market. Following that; the book also covers the retail side: shift from boutiques to large retailers; to discounters (Target; Walmart); and how each designer dealt with the continuously changing landscape of how clothes are sold and marketed (e.g. role of Hollywood; TV; celebrity endorsements; and so on).Finally; the book covers the 90s craze of fashion IPOs and their outcomes - mixed results; to say the least! As a bonus; the book sprinkles financial and performance figures throughout all of the different chapters. In short; this is a great one-stop-shop overview of the business of fashion - worth checking out even if youre not in the field.My only remaining wish is that I would love to see an update to the book! A decade has passed; and Id be curious to see how the landscape has changed since; as it surely has...0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. This is a fast and fun read.

The book is really about the dramatic changes in fashion production and marketing that took place in the 1960s-1990s. She takes us from the youthquake and rise of street style over exclusive atelier; to the proliferation of mass marketed diffusion lines over haute couture. This is a fast and fun read. The one critique is that it seemed a bit rushed at the end; leaving the reader a bit bedazzled and wanting more.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Informative; but dated.By Jo G.Entertaining read. I bought this without seeing its publication date; which is obviously my fault. Unfortunately; due to the nature of the subject matter; the book is somewhat dated. There have obviously been major fashion industry developments since its publication; especially due to Internet proliferation; but its excellent for the time in which it came out.
