A celebrity fashion designer gives every woman the red-carpet treatment in this foolproof guide to choosing clothes that make you look fabulous, with tailor-made tips for 48 body types. Designer Bradley Bayou has dressed women of all shapes and sizes and knows that every woman has her own natural combination of silhouette shape, height and weight. Style is not about fitting into the size you think is sexy; it is about picking clothes that fit your body correctly and that create balance. After all, perfect balance is perfect style.

In The Science of Sexy, Bayou helps readers identify their silhouette shape (triangle, inverted triangle, rectangle or hourglass) and combines that information with a height/weight chart to determine which of the 48 “fitting rooms” to go in. Each fitting room has Bradley’s specific advice for that woman on the clothes and accessories to wear and avoid, and how to create balance using colour, scale, proportions and fabric.

With a fabulous design and instructive and fun four-colour illustrations throughout, the book takes the fear out of shopping and gives all women the gift of confidence. In short, if you are really looking for specific guidance — especially if you are a “hard to dress” type — this book is a must have.
