Fashion historian and author, Elyssa Dimant, releases her fourth book, 'The Style Mentors: Women Who Define the Art of Dressing Today,' a must read this spring/summer '13.
Scoop NYC hosted a book signing party for Elyssa Dimant to celebrate her fourth book, The Style Mentors: Women Who Define the Art of Dressing Today, which drew a fittingly fashionable crowd including Ariane Goldman of maternity clothing line, HATCH, Advertising Creative Director Chris Romero, and fashion photographers Stewart Shining and Justin Marquis.
The Style Mentors: Women Who Define the Art of Dressing Today outlines eight signature looks that have proven fashion longevity–the icon, maverick, bohemian, gamine, siren, minimalist, rocker, and classic–by providing examples of historical fashionistas -aka style mentors- who have successfully donned each style. Dimant identifies historically reoccurring pieces that the reader can opt for in their own wardrobe, dos and don’ts for dressing a look, and stellar style advice from the mentors themselves.
“Most women fall between categories, which is the great part about this book, you can embrace whatever look you are in the mood for,” Dimant said, who considers herself a minimalist and classic, and sported a vintage Givenchy dress, Nicholas Kirkwood shoes, and Noritamy necklace for the party.
A style mentor in her own right, Dimant signed copies of her chic new read to an impressive sized crowd, many in which seemed like close friends of the author. Attendees mingled, enjoyed champaign, and browsed Scoop NYC for fashion items ideal for their own signature look.
If you’re looking for a great book to take to the beach or pool you can’t go wrong with this fun, fashionable page turner.
