Jo DingemansMastering Fashion styling (Macmillan Master Series)

This book is the must have for anyone who is interested in styling and knowing more about this profession. I have read many other books on the topic and they tend to be superficial or written by a "celebrity" stylist that is only trying to publicise her name/work.This book is a true gem. Even if it was written in 1999 most of the info is still relevant. The author is clearly a pro with a massive wealth of experience. Of course you will not find references to the internet and live streaming of fashion shows, digital photograph or iPads, but nevertheless this is still the best book on the market when it comes to styling, The author's writing style is engaging and never patronising. There are great ideas on how to improve your "eye" and how to test yourself and your passion for this profession. The author is disclosing a lot of insiders information. Highly recommended. I wish that Jo Dingemans would publish a new version of this amazing book.

This a complete book if you are really determined to learn about a new career. It's not for "personal stylists" but there's a lot of informations about styling market in general and usefull shooting productions so I totally recommend this book.

This book went into great detail about the different areas within Styling (which are many!) and I felt alot more informed after reading this. This is probably the best book out there at the moment on the subject. Highly recommend.

I have only been working backstage in one fashion show and I've been styling for an amateur fashion shoot, so I am not quite yet "in the know", but I didn't learn anything new from this book. Maybe it's nice to have as a reference guide or a check-list, but better learn by doing. The source directory, which takes up 30 pages of the total 188 is useless to me, because I'm in Sweden.
