Today's looks were so fabulous! Then, I saw Anchie's light neutrals post and how lovely she looks. I absolutely had to go with a light neutral look with an ivory pleated midi skirt by Mango, ivory/gold mesh top by Anthropologie, and a pre-loved light tan quilted leather jacket by Halogen. Angie, you should recognize my cream booties. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/visualinspirational-fashion-books#post-2334373 Fri, 11 Aug 2023 19:49:28 +0000 Sally 2334373@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have read lots of different style books over the years, usually I get them from the library and some of them have been quite dated, a lot of them I can't remember the names of.&nbsp; This is one I remember enjoying, mainly for the visual.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/visualinspirational-fashion-books#post-2334289 Fri, 11 Aug 2023 03:32:08 +0000 Carol 2334289@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Two:&nbsp;</p> <p>French Style--Veronique Vienne<br />Pretty standard French style advice, with a couple of fresh twists.

Titled “Fruits” and “Fresh Fruits” — beautiful Phaidon art books, perfect on a coffee table. Inspirational for anyone interested in photography, not just street style.

I used to collect magazines and refer back to those, but have decluttered 95% of them in recent years, and would love to replace with some inspirational fashion books.

I borrowed a book from one of my best friends that I loved so much, I had a hard time returning it since it was out of stock on Amazon for a while. It’s more a of a visual guide, but extremely detailed and immersive. Here’s the description. </p> <p>“The 1960s, known as the ‘Swinging Sixties’ are recognized as a landmark decade both by those who lived through them and those who look back in awe at the revolutionary changes in fashion, style and sexual freedom. </p> <p>Continuing interest and appreciation of vintage fashion mean that 1960s styles, hair and make-up have seen a huge increase in popularity and the need for detailed information on this period has never been so great.</p> <p>The ‘Swinging Sixties’ saw young designers such as Mary Quant producing exciting new clothes modeled by the likes of Jean Shrimpton and Twiggy. New clothing styles were created – like the miniskirt – and new materials came to prominence including PVC and Perspex. </p> <p>But achieving the ‘1960s Look’ is not just about the clothing but also the hairstyles, make-up, shoes, and many other accessories, all of which Mike Brown covers in detail.</p> <p>Using contemporary sources, photographs and meticulous research ‘The 1960s Look’ walks you through the decade telling you how men, women and children dressed - and why they looked the way they did. </p> <p>Lavishly illustrated throughout this book takes you back to a decade of fab miniskirts, groovy Beatles’ jackets, swinging Edwardian military uniforms, Mods in parkas and Rockers in leathers, plus the hairstyles, jewelry, make-up, and so much else that went to make up ‘the 1960s look’.” </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/historical-fashion-books#post-2326609 Thu, 15 Jun 2023 01:38:13 +0000 Anonymous 2326609@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting. &nbsp;Can you recommend a book on or that includes 60's &nbsp;fashion? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/historical-fashion-books#post-2326598 Thu, 15 Jun 2023 00:08:26 +0000 Bee 2326598@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’ve always been fascinated by historical fashions, especially the Middle Ages and 19th century. I own two copies of the first two books. I had to put them in storage when I left Brazil and I missed them terribly, despite the fact that most of their illustrations are permanently printed onto my brain… so I bought another copy of each. The other three were recent purchases and I still look through the last two almost every single day. The third book was a fascinating read! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/great-fashion-books#post-2319469 Sat, 22 Apr 2023 23:00:39 +0000 Vildy 2319469@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>not a book but based on a book.&nbsp; A lot of color systems claim that your coloring and personality go together.&nbsp; David Zyla's is one.&nbsp; He has 24 archetypes and this youtuber covers them all.&nbsp;<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fiKslgQwSs4">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fiKslgQwSs4</a></p> <p>Find Your Style Archetype | 24 STYLE TYPES </p> <p> </p>
