Tim Gunn's Fashion Bible: The Fascinating History of Everything in Your Closet by Tim Gunn
3.0
Was at a loss how to rate this book.
I guess I wanted it to be more of a fashion history through Tim's eyes than a mashup of that and fashion advice. Some of his advice or opinions are OK, some a bit annoying but there is nothing I violently disagree with. It's just...I wanted it for the history, hoping that from him it would be somewhat entertaining. Contemplating my wardrobe is something I can do without him quite well.
So, consider this a strong-ish 3. It's worth reading if you have some interest in the evolution of fashion and the clothes we wear, but are not looking for books on this topic that are too academic.
But you should be aware that's not all that this book is.
