Review
The One Hundred contains the Holy Grail: an exhaustive list of the essential must-have pillars of the fashion world, culled from the notebook of one of the industry's most stylish women. --The Observer<br /><br />The joy of Garcia's approach is that she is not urging you to rush out and shop, but instead to look carefully at what you own and how it works, and to think about how you can add classic, timeless pieces. --fashion journalist Susan Wagner quoted in the Daily Mail

Product Description
As the Fashion Director at "Elle" magazine, Nina has learned an indispensable fact - women love lists. They love making them, reading about them, following them, crossing each item off, etc. "The One Hundred" will be a thoroughly researched take on these attainable items, featuring Ruben Toledo's stand-out, signature illustrations. She will explore a short history of many of the items, with beautifully designed side-bars that include fun-to-know-facts, and will also summon the advice from the many expert friends she has throughout the fashion industry.

3.0 out of 5 stars Nice companion to 'The little black book of style' with a but, 22 Oct 2008
As someone suggested, don't take this to the letter, rather take it for inspiration. I enjoyed the historical description of each item though some info is not really accurate (Bardot does not wear any shoes in the mambo scene of 'And God created woman', she's barefeet!). This makes me skip back to the same entry in the little black book of style when she states referring to ballet flats 'introduced in France by Repetto, an American company that specialized in dance wear'. American? Absolutely not!

I'd make the remark I did for the LBB of Style, some of these classics may not be your classics. Owning these 100 items will not make you more stylish if to start with they don't suit you or your lifestyle. Up to you to figure out.

Overall it's a nice read still with the fabulous illustrations from Ruben Toledo.

4.0 out of 5 stars Love this!, 10 Oct 2008
By sainte-carmen (London) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
If approached in the right spirit, this book is both fun and inspiring. One should never treat these lists like diktats but rather suggestions. Garcia has a good eye, although some of her suggestions, i.e. the ll bean bag, seem better suited to an American audience. That said, it is a great way to think about fashion and one's closet. It inspired me to junk a few pieces and keep a few old favourites.

Great stuff for girls.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Glam List, 19 May 2009
I enjoy browsing through this a lot and still find something interesting to dip into from time to time. However, it is very clear this has been written by an American and more importantly by someone relishing the good old 'quality over quantity' meaning if you don't have a massive budget, tough. I do tend to go for a more expensive stuff (according to what I can afford I go as much as I can without ruining myself) but the problem is that what Nina finds low-budget is still quite expensive for regular people like me. I know there are people who can afford a tux by YSL, a watch by Cartier or stilettos by Manolo but some alternatives would be quite welcome.
I would say there is around 10 or 20 per cent of the stuff she mentions which I would not consider essential and will not be trying to enrich my wardrobe with (leather trousers or cowboy boots, anyone?)but overall, I pretty much agree with the selection. The pictures are charming, the quotes add more character to it and it is just a lovely little book for any woman's coffee table.
