Malcolm, dubbed the “Freud of Fashion” by The New Yorker, and his partner, Kate, have written a practical, engaging book that breaks through trends, hot looks, and instant makeovers to get to the heart of how you can develop your own style.

As they do for the top executives who go through their personal style development program, Malcolm and Kate teach you how to discover your own individual style and become comfortable with your image from the inside out. This book will show you how to:
* Identify your passions
* Create a personal style statement
* Confront image challenges from the past
* Take a field trip to discover your aesthetic tastes
* Banish color myths
* Undergo a complete closet analysis
* Celebrate with an informed shopping trip
Malcolm and Kate also share inspiring stories of clients who have completed the program and achieved a more sophisticated image and an empowered sense of personal style. You no longer have to buy someone else’s taste, hire someone to pick out your clothes, or drape yourself in designer labels to feel secure. Take it from the experts—fashion independence is only ten creative steps away!

10 Steps to Fashion Freedom inspired me to analyze what was missing in my wardrobe by helping me to see what it was I really wanted to project. The results have been amazing. I went through the process of linking my authentic self with clothes that would bring it out. I purged my wardrobe and replaced the missing parts with clothes that filled a need for my lifestyle and image. I now get more compliments than ever, am not afraid to spend money on quality over quantity, and am enjoying clothes like never before. I truly recommend this briliant book for anyone who has a closet full of clothes and nothing to wear.

Usually the book with photos catches my interest. But this book draws out what you really is important to you, starts with the base. Like building a house, it is the good foundation, and you can go up and out, building your "house" with rooms of interest. You've got to start somewhere, this book will cement your likes and dislikes.

I have had this book for several years. As I've aged and matured, I have given it another go and I still find it to be most unhelpful. They talk a good talk, but they leave out, in a most egregious way, how to walk the walk. This book doesn't help you. This book is like a candy bar when you are hungry. I think Brenda Kinsel's books are good, and so is "Clothes Minded" by Andrea L. Siegel. They help you figure out specific elements. This book, is disappointing in that maybe they felt they should write a book, but kind of missed the margin of how to relate to the rest of us by miles. Based on the book, I actually hired them as consultants, they surprised me by suggesting that everything I purchase come from a sale rack. In the book, they say that its worth it to spend money on key pieces that you love, yet in person, they practice the opposite of this advice. I really do not recommend this approach. Brenda Kinsel and others are much much much better for helping you, discover you.

I read this book a few years ago, and while I did not do all the excercises (in fact, I can't remember if I did any), I loved the book and the concept that it is more important to know who you are and what image you want to give off than to know the "right" things to wear. I enjoyed the personal stories of the people who shared their journeys into the shark infested waters of style. This book gave me confidence that I would know what was right for me when I found it. I read a lot of books at that time about body types and color charts, etc, but this is the one that made the biggest impression. You won't find any cookie cutter advice or rules to cramp your style in here!

This is an extraordinary book. Having read many books on style, this is the first one to assert that style is something that must be discovered and developed - not envied and copied. The book requires a fair amount of reflection and written work, and those looking for "quick tips" (like the reader who complains the book won't help a stay-at-home mom choose a "power suit" for a school board meeting) are unlikely to find the easy answers they seek. But really, aren't there enough style books like that already? And isn't it true that we picked up a new style book because those kind are just so limited and formulaic?
I am disheartened by some of the reviews for this book. The same reader above is full of excuses as to why fashion just won't work for her - having an "image" is for artists, for entrepreneurs. Not for mere employees who risk the wrath of a pink slip for wearing a new belt. How ridiculous. I'm a doctor - there are few professions as conservative as that. There is no job I can think of in which expressing your creativity to some degree is a bad thing. We all have "limits" placed on how we dress; nowhere in the book is there a recommendation to fly in the face of common sense and decorum.
The same reader takes offense to the authors' assertion that elastic waistbands, oversized pockets and patch pockets are unfashionable. Well, they ARE unfashionable. But, the reader laments that they are comfortable, useful. Maybe. But fashionable? That's why the book isn't called Ten Steps to Comfort Freedom. This reader assumes that the authors don't know what it is to really "work" (presumably like she does). And she laments that style may take time - even ironing! - "and who has the time for that these days?" she asks. I guess the answer to that would be: someone willing to put aside a bit of time because they think their appearance matters. This reviewer has already decided that she can make no wardrobe or image changes because of the extreme physical demands of her job, the dictatorial condemnation of her bosses, and a belief in comfort and convenience at all cost. What this reader needs is not a new style. She needs a new life!
Another reader claims that the authors "insist" on shopping at high-end stores. That just isn't true. However, there's few of us that won't admit we wish we'd saved for a really good pair of shoes, rather than the four cheap and trendy pairs we now never wear. I have used this book to transform my way of dressing and shopping - I still shop at Walmart; I just shop there smarter now. This book isn't for everyone; if you're looking for pictures, be advised that there isn't a one. But if you're looking for photos of fashion, buy a magazine. Rest assured, if you're motivated and willing to do the work, you WILL find your unique personal style - and that has nothing to do with whether you shop at Walmart or Rodeo Drive.
