Fierce Style

From the Publisher

In 2008, Christian Siriano made headlines as the youngest designer to win the hit reality series Project Runway. But the now twenty-three-year-old is bigger than a TV celebrity. From his prodigious fashion talent to his one-of-a-kind personality, Christian is the embodiment of fierce style.

Now in his first book, he helps readers discover how to look, feel, and act fierce in everyday life. With tips from some of fashion and Hollywood's biggest names -including Victoria Beckham, Heidi Klum, Nina Garcia, and Vanessa Williams -- along with gorgeous original sketches by Christian, never-before-heard stories, and behind-the-scenes photos, he tells his journey of developing his own fashion sense and overcoming obstacles to success.

Giving advice on creating personal style, sharing tips on building self-confidence, and revealing his own list of fashion dos and don'ts, Christian shows how to use one's unique strengths to get ahead - and go from tickity-tack to totally flawless.

Book Reviews of Fierce Style

Not Worth the Price

I purchased this book without looking inside first and was terribly disappointed. I purchase many books on fashion and this is, by far, the worst one yet. It is a total waste of time. This young man spends far too much time attempting to educate the reader in his fashion terminology than actually giving tips on fashion. I would definitely not recommend it for anyone, unless you are interested in writing a new dictionary to replace Websters.

Fashion, Fun and full of Fierce....

I actually purchased this book for my sister, who is a big fan of Mr. Siriano. I started to read and couldn't put it down! It's great fast reading and loaded with amazing fashion related information. Besides the authors' priceless knowledge and inspiration regarding fashion, the book is funny as hell and I found myself LOL for real. So whether you're into fashion or 'style-challenged".. there' something here for everyone... Bravo, Christian!Fierce Style: How to Be Your Most Fabulous Self

A pick for fashion and general lending collections alike

FIERCE STYLE: HOW TO BE YOUR MOST FABULOUS SELF offers tips from some of fashion and Hollywood's biggest names, pairing these with author Christian Siriano's blend of personal stories on how he discovered his unique fashion sense and insights on how readers can uncover their own 'fierce style'. From overcoming obstacles to how to incorporate 'fierce style' in everyday perspectives on life beyond fashion, this is a pick for fashion and general lending collections alike.

Fierce Style: How to be your Most Fabulous Self

I purchased this as a gift for a daring, creative 16 year old who would like to own her own business one day. Christian's book is fun, well written and relevant to a young artists interests. There are many great tips by Christian and others that I am sure young people will find inspiring. He describes his journey to fame and the ups and downs along the way. His writing style is easy, funny and informative at the same time. I have no doubt she will enjoy this book. I did.

Fierce Style: How to Be Your Most Fabulous Self

I don't watch Project Runway, so I wasn't familiar with Christian Siriano although I recognized who he was and had actually seen him walking around West 14th St. But I have a few acquaintances who are fond of Project Runway, so I was curious to see why Christian Siriano was so popular. When offered the chance to review his Fierce Style: How to Be Your Most Fabulous Self, I readily signed up.

Not being familiar with Christian, I wondered whether it would be self-congratulatory and smug. It isn't. Instead, Christian is encouraging and funny. Fierce Style is chatty and full of Christian's personal approach to dressing and style. He's quick to share the fashion mistakes that he'd made as he developed his own style. Instead of name-dropping, Christian comes up with suggestions of designers, stores, magazines, and ways of looking at fashion, Fierce Style is accessible, helpful, and a fun read.

The book itself is divided into four parts: "Lady, You Look Fabulous," "Finding Your Inner Ferocia," "Everyday is a Runway... Work It," and "Inspire Me." I liked the first part of the book best. In Lady, You Look Fabulous, Christian guides you to avoid pitfalls, to identifying what works for you and to developing your signature look. He gives a range of items and designers in different price points. His tone and his advice sort of reminds me of the advice I'd get from my fashionable cousins and friends. I also liked the lists that Christian would weave into the book, such as, "Easy Ways to Fab Up Your Outfit" and his "Top 10 Dream Pieces (and their corresponding Reality Pieces)."

Overall, Fierce Style is a fun and helpful read.
