I picked up You Know You Want It by Eric Daman from the library's new book shelf when I was browsing for non-fiction. Daman is the costume designer for Gossip Girl. I watched a season of the show because a friend's sister's then-now-ex-husband is the producer and the friend had viewing parties for it. I was amused by the teenagers who lead lives more sophisticated than I will ever have, and the clothes are fantastic. Daman knows his stuff when it comes to costuming a cast.

This style guide from the costume designer for the popular television show, Gossip Girl, includes chapters on basics like defining your body type, types of blouses, skirts, slacks, and jeans.

Maybe if this had been the first book I'd read on style & I'd never read any magazines I would've learned something from this book.

I give it 2 stars just because I liked the overall style of the book. It's cool and the pictures are vibrant and it's easy to read. I rented this from th

It added a few new information for my fashion-knowledge, but that was it. But that's because I'm always reading about fashion. But it can be a great book for people who have absolutely no sense of style and need some guidelines to create a wardrobe with a personality, so if that's your case, go for it.

Why did this get published?! You could replicate his boring, generic advice with randomly selected fashion magazines and save yourself a ton of cash. It's so bad we aren't even going to add it to the library, even though as a review book, it was free.

Kind of disappointing. Great illustrations and photos but nothing at all new to say about fashion, style or design.

The pictures are pretty, I guess, but the fashion mag speak is despicable.

Very disjointed. Good pictures, but not a whole lot going on other than that.

I loved the layout for this book but I found the author's fashion advice a bit repetitive. I was expecting a lot more from the designer of Gossip Girl.
