Glad I got it thru an interlibrary loan!,
By A Customer
This review is from: French Chic: How to Dress Like a Frenchwoman (Hardcover)
Well the text is interesting, but the suggestions are largely out of date, which makes it like sifting thru a junk store box of "treasures" in search of the one jewel or two that might be in there. Maybe.And I have to agree, I chuckled at the Annie Hall colliding with eighties Madonna. That is EXACTLY what the photos depict. That and the couch smuggling comment. Well photos aside, and they were bound to be dated, the text isn't that great. I was hoping it would have something better, something more than the current offering of french chic books have. I suggest you try to get it thru interlibrary loan FIRST before spending the 100$ plus that copies of this one will set you back on the second hand book market. It was a good book in it's day, but Leah Feldon's Dressing Rich has worn better thru time than this one in spite of being about the same publication dates. Leah's book is a true classic about classics that wear well. She too discusses minimal capsule wardrobe building to begin with and how to add, what to look for in a quality garment, and what to go cheap with and what you absolutely must spend big money on. For French Chic the books, Chic and Slim (now 3 books, if you can't get them at Amazon, try her website) by Anne Barone has some good tips, Entres Nous; discovering your inner French Girl and Frederic Fekkai's A year of Style.

A True Jewel!,
By Reyna del Amador (United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: French Chic: How to Dress Like a Frenchwoman (Hardcover)
Susan Sommers' French Chic brings that certain look casual chic of many Frenchwomen into the realm of possibility for the ordinary reader. Most American women have a closet full of mish-mash fashion and yet complain of having nothing to wear. You must have clothing anyway, so why not make wise, versatile purchases? Ms. Sommers' book will help you to do so. She offers several plans for formulating a wardrobe that can be applied whether one shops at Lord and Taylor or the local Target. Highly recommended to those few women who dare to be chic.
