At long last, a fresh take on color! Jesse and Joe, stylists to the stars and fashion consultants on The Oprah Winfrey Show reveal their secrets for finding personalized palettes for each individual woman's coloring. No longer will redheads be relegated to earthtones. No longer will women of color assume they look good only in bright colors. Instead, Jesse and Joe offer 20 highly personalized colortypes to choose from. Using quizzes, questionnaires, hundreds of photos, color swatches, before-and-after shots, and photos of celebrity style icons, they make it easy for any woman to determine her best colors, brighten her look, and leave a lasting impression.
Jesse Garza and Joe Lupo are the founders of Visual Therapy Luxury Lifestyle Consulting, based in New York City. They've been featured in O, the Oprah Magazine; Vanity Fair, Harper's Bazaar, In Style, and Elle.

March 09, 2009: Ever since I bought the book, I have found myself branching out, with confidence, to colors that hadn't graced my closet in years. Gradually, the blacks and grays are being edged out with fuschia, saffron yellow, teal green - all to many compliments. I found it especially helpful in working with women in their mid-twenties since it's all too easy to greet the business world, either clad in black like too young dowagers or in skin-clashing shades of hot pink on the fair or burgundy on the olive-skinned. Rather than jam it down anybody's throat, I just keep the book on my desk and let people browse it. The system works - and I love the section on style. Are you classic? Bohemian? I only wish there were more pictures of each combination and larger color samples.
