I have been reading Tim Gunn's latest book, Tim Gunn's Fashion Bible, over the last couple of months. As usual, he dispenses brilliant, thoughtful advice about dressing one's best. In addition, he cites historical time periods and events to explain how we came to wear what we do. It's been a fascinating read and I plan to write more about it in the future. For now, here is a sample of Gunn's wisdom:
"One of my favorite dresses of all time is the Diane von Furstenberg patterned wrap dress. . . The wraparound dress style, which dates back thousands of years (think of the kimono!)--and was popularized in America in the 1960s--is still popular today. You just need to make sure you fit the shoulders, and the rest of the dress takes care of itself. It makes women look feminine, put together, and at ease in the world"
