About the book: 
‘Whereas fashion comes and goes, style is forever.’ So says Simon Rademan, one of South Africa’s foremost couturiers and author of The Style Bible, every woman’s guide to achieving effortless style. 

Having dressed some of South Africa’s richest and most famous women, and as the compiler of South Africa’s annual best- and worst-dressed list, Simon’s 24 years in the fashion industry afford him a unique and expert perspective on what does and doesn’t work when it comes to clothes. The Style Bible reflects Simon’s forthright and frank opinions on fashion, style and beauty. 

Topics covered include:
  • definitions of style and fashion and their influences;
  • basic wardrobe planning;
  • figure analysis;
  • how to accessorise;
  • haute couture; and
  • etiquette and dress codes.
Fully aware that not all women can afford haute couture, Simon has packaged his wealth of knowledge and experience in this easy-to-read, affordable format. Chock-full of pearls of wisdom, wit and invaluable advice, The Style Bible is for women of all ages who are interested in fashion but who need just a little bit of help to look their best.
