Eight-time Academy Award-winning costume designer, Head, teaches you how to build a wardrobe that will move you closer to your life goals, whatever they are. Her tone is sensible, funny and supportive. Though this little book was written in 1867, the advice still resonates.

The legendary costume designer (Bette Davis in “All About Eve,” Grace Kelly in “Rear Window,” to name a few) treats us to some of her pearls of wisdom about style, and keeping a man interested. The relationship advice is amusing but her style tips are timeless.

It's not the shoes, scarves, or lipstick that gives French women their allure, it's just that they don't give a damn! Ollivier delivers a refreshing perspective on the stale stereotypes about French women, revisiting and challenging old notions about sex, love, dating, marriage, motherhood, body politics, and seduction. Here women are reminded of the simple yet important things that are easily lost in the everyday chaos of our lives: less is more, you don't need permission to be who you are, there is no such thing as perfection, just let go and enjoy the experience.
Born in a poorhouse in Southern France, Coco Chanel grew up to be the woman who not only gave us the little black dress and boxy jackets, but also bestowed upon women a chic freedom that helped usher them into the modern era. In The Gospel According to Coco Chanel, Karbo provides Chanel-style commentary inspired by the elegant, opinionated, and passionate fashion icon and offers a captivating, offbeat look at style, celebrity, and self-invention.
