Book excerpt: So you probably won't be attending your own movie premiere or collecting a Grammy Award this year. That doesn't mean you can't look like you're ready for the red carpet and fawning paparazzi. In Effortless Style, June Ambrose, the celebrity fashion stylist and designer who's shaped the looks of some of the biggest names in entertainment -- including Jay-Z, Missy Elliott, Kelly Ripa, and Mariah Carey -- reveals the industry secrets that can help anyone exude genuine star power, regardless of body type or budget. The key to looking and feeling like a celebrity lies in defining your own unique style and adapting it to each situation. The result is a look as natural as a second skin. In clear step-by-step instructions, Ambrose shows how people can improve the way they present themselves to the world, whether it's for a first date or an important meeting, and in turn boost their overall mood and self-confidence. Using examples from her work molding celebrities' images, she teaches women (and their men) how to define and enhance their look, with chapters devoted to topics such as knowing what clothes work for each body type, how to accessorize like a star, the importance of tailoring clothes so that an off-the-rack suit fits like a custom-made Armani, and much more. She offers tricks of the trade -- from choosing the perfect lingerie to handling bad hair days -- and provides a welcome list of wardrobe essentials and perennial fashion don'ts. With this must-have style guide every woman, whether girl next door or top executive, will be able to unleash her inner VIP -- effortlessly.

Download or read book Paris Capital of Fashion written by Valerie Steele and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2019-09-05 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paris, Capital of Fashion accompanies a major exhibition at The Museum at FIT, New York's only museum dedicated solely to the art of fashion. This lavishly-illustrated book is edited by MFIT's director and chief curator, Valerie Steele, also the author of the acclaimed Paris Fashion: A Cultural History. This new book opens with an important essay on how and why Paris became famous as the international “capital of fashion.” Steele traces how the mythic “aura” of Paris fashion was constructed over generations, as the splendour of the court at Versailles came to be echoed by the spectacle of the haute couture. Yet Paris has faced repeated challenges from other fashion capitals, especially London, Milan, and New York. Essays by Christopher Breward, David Gilbert, Grazia d'Annunzio, and Antonia Finnane place Paris within a broader global narrative, while Sophie Kurkdjian investigates the cultural value of the Parisian couture, and Agnès Rocomora explores the online imagery of the chic Parisienne. As The New Yorker recently put it, Paris is “the most glamorous and competitive of the world's fashion capitals.” No other city has been branded “Fashion” as Paris has. By opening the study of Paris fashion to new approaches, this book explains why Paris still retains its position as the world's undisputed fashion capital.

This book was released on 2019-02-23 with total page 612 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Torn from Stone - Book One The creature under the sink says you’re not human, and only a trip into time itself will show you the truth. After a lackluster birthday party, Phoenix finds a strange creature hiding under her sink. Doing what any sensible person would do. She pokes it. And when that little guy wakes up, he rocks her world. Phoenix isn’t human. The little guy under her sink just told her so. She’s actually a Traveller; a beautiful humanoid who moved through time on multi-coloured wings that filled the sky. So why is she here, sitting on the floor of her tiny apartment with a strange creature named Sid? Why doesn’t she remember any of this? And where are her wings? Following Sid into time itself, Phoenix embarks on a wild adventure. If the Sirens don’t kill her, meeting a talking Yeti might. And ancient Egypt is amazing when it isn’t so ancient. Although she could do without all the snake-men chasing her. And through all this, the most terrifying man in her home world, a silver-skinned warrior named The Archer, is hunting her down. Don’t worry, when the stuff really hits the fan, Phoenix isn’t afraid to swing her baseball bat at whatever is in her way. They say you can’t get blood from a stone, but maybe you can get wings? Either way, Phoenix sure as hell is going to try. Can a city girl travel to ancient lands, do battle with fantastical creatures, and literally find her wings? Bounty of Ash - Book Two So you’ve travelled through time, reclaimed your wings and kicked butt along the way. Now you can relax, right? Not so fast. One minute Phoenix is lounging around her apartment, her wings magically tucked away, the next there’s a yeti in her kitchen trying to drag her back to the Void. And why, you ask? Well, there’s a bounty on Phoenix’s head and the prize is a share of her power; an offer so enticing the entire Void is hunting her down. Narrowly escaping the yeti, Phoenix starts running. Her home in the forest is still safe, even if her apartment in the human world no longer is, but she can’t do this alone. If she’s going to end this bounty, she’ll need help from the most dangerous man in the Void. A creature who strikes fear into the hearts of yetis, minions and everyone in between: The Archer. If Phoenix thought things were going to calm down after she found her wings, she was sorely mistaken. When every creature in the Void is hot on your tail, what do you do? Well, first you go to your brother’s birthday party, then you kick some ass. Mend the Flesh - Book Three When you wake up in a strange place with the flesh literally stripped from your bones, what do you do? When last we saw Phoenix she had just finished exploding. Literally. She exploded in a blast so big it sent minions and evil warriors running. Now she’s a vulnerable collection of tendon and bone, hiding out in the home of the only other member of her species, a reclusive curmudgeon named Royal. When her old friend Sid turns up on the doorstep, Phoenix is catapulted into a minion showdown that only a meeting with the Guard can resolve. Gathering her allies from all corners of the Void, Phoenix attempts to heal her broken body and save as many minions as she can. When a big tough Traveller has to rely on a pair of gargoyles to cut her out of her pants, you know things are bad. Pick up the Phoenix Series Boxset today and get ready for the adventure of a lifetime!
