Synopsis

Susannah and Trinny's straight-talking fashion advice has made them Britain's best-known style duo. In their second BBC2 series screened this autumn, more unsuspecting style casualties will be made-over. The sartorial sisters show how to develop personal style, whilst making the most of your body shape, hiding your defects and flaunting those assets!

This book enlarges upon what is shown in the series. Susannah and Trinny are not about fashion; they are about personal style - dressing for your body shape and personality - and this book shows you how.

'Trinny and Susannah can be breathtakingly irritating but also happen to have extremely good taste.' Elizabeth Hurley

'Shopping with the girls is like running a marathon, and it's fun too.' Lulu

'I'd rather eat my own hair than shop with these two again.' Jeremy Clarkson

Virginia Blackburn, DAILY EXPRESS WNTW was 'The Digested Read' in THE GUARDIAN's 'The Editor' section 21/12. THEEVENING STANDARD recommended WNTW for the perfect christmas present for the 'woman who wears clothes'. The WALL STREET JOURNAL has also reviewed the book: '... we loved the book's jaunty practicality. Fat or thin, female readers will see themselves and their friends - and hopefully laugh instead of cry - if they pick up this little gem.' 'A wardrobe essential.'

As well as their column in HEAT magazine they are now writing a makeover column inthe DAILY MAIL. 'The two rudest women on TV have produced a book to go with their next series. Phew! Now we can all benefit from their honest fashion advice without having to go on telly to be told how fat and unstylish we are. Not only packed with insider tips, this brilliant guide to fashion is good girlie fun.'
