TRINNY AND SUSANNAH - WHO DO YOU WANT TO BE TODAY?

Published by Weidenfeld and Nicolson / November 2008

The girls who have taken over the fashion world now show us just how to unleash our inner fashion gods in their new book Who Do You Want To Be Today.

Taking their cue from Hollywood and the world of fashion in general the girls have come up with 12 different styles of dress to suit your every mood and whim, fancy being a rock chick or maybe fancy going a little Bohemian, or if you have something special planned then Diva maybe just up your street. Besides appearing in the book themselves, T and S also cast four ordinary women, ages ranging from the early 20's to the late 50's, to try out the different looks and include lots of tips to make sure that you carry off the look with plenty of self confidence.

Each look gets its own chapter with hints on clothing essentials, colours and design ideas and who to take inspiration from. There are looks for daytime and night time and plenty of accessorise to think about. Obviously not all looks suit all shapes so the fuller figured woman is never going to be able to pull of the gamine and likewise the skinny minny is never going to get the full on Marilyn bombshell look.

Also choc a block full of pics of great movie and stage icons, showcasing their own takes on the different styles, Who Do You Want to Be Today? is a great primer for whenever you fancy a change of style. Do note though that most of the fashion outlets featured in the shops guide at the back are of the UK variety, although all have websites listed and it would be pretty easy to find an Aussie equivalent.

The different styles are
BOMBSHELL
GAMINE
CUTTING EDGE COOL
ANDROGYNE
ICE QUEEN
AVANT-GARDE ECCENTRIC
DIVA
SOPHISTICATE
ROCK CHICK
MINIMALIST
HIGH MAINTENANCE
BOHO
