Nina Garcia in her Project Runway judging chair
As a major Project Runway devotee, I was thrilled to learn that Nina Garcia has sold a book to Hyperion’s Voice imprint. Titled Nina Garcia’s Look Book, the guide will feature advice on what to wear for “every occasion” and include artwork by Ruben Toldeo, who has also illustrated for The New Yorker, Harper’s Bazaar and others (and he’s the husband of Isabel Toledo, who designed Michelle Obama’s Inauguration Day dress and overcoat). The book will be published in August 2010.
By day, Garcia is the fashion director of Marie Claire, although I know and love her as the no-nonsense (and occasionally snippy) judge of the best reality TV show in the history of reality TV shows: Project Runway. (“Don’t bore Nina!” is a favorite warning from designer mentor Tim Gunn.)
Garcia has also published other style guides: The One Hundred: A Guide to the Pieces Every Stylish Woman Must Own, The Style Strategy: A Less-Is-More Approach to Staying Chic and Shopping and The Little Black Book of Style.
While you wait for Look Book, browse the BookPage fashion archive, where we’ve highlighted everything from Barbie fashion to street fashion.
