We deal with fashion every time we open our closets to get dressed. Some of us love putting together a look that tells the world who we are, while others are more practical with their daily choices. Either way (and whether we think about it or not), we all have personal style. This unique, in-depth journal combines practical motivation and wisdom with the spirited fun of fashion to help you perfect your best style.

The Art of Fashion provides the in-depth information, guidance, and space for creating a fully functional fashion look best suited to your personality and body type. Focused sections are devoted to everything from understanding measurements and fabrics to organizing your closet and planning your most productive shopping trips. Additional sections are devoted to fashion components such as dresses, pants, outerwear, and accessories (shoes, handbags, jewellery, and more).

Prompts, tips, timeless garments, and inspiration are sprinkled throughout to help inspire new fashion ideas…whether you’re planning a night out or preparing for a major job interview.

With a mix of lined and unlined sections perfect for note taking and sketching of potential outfits; creating looks for specific events, and jotting down fashion inspirations; this is the perfect gift for the fashionista in your life!
