Marie Claire's "Running in Heels" to debut March 1st on Style Network

Email thisPosted Feb 18th 2009 at 1:32PM by Tiffany Neal

After what has seemed like an eternity, especially since we haven't had another round of Project Runway in quite some time, Marie Claire's foray into reality television -- Running in Heels -- is set to premiere on The Style Network March 1st.

Marie Claire gets its own reality show

Prominent fashion magazines are all itching to make the leap to reality television. Just ask Marie Claire. After watching Elle magazine's readership soar after former fashion editor Nina Garcia became associated with the hit show Project Runway, they want in on the action now, too.

This is probably why they scooped up Garcia once she was ousted from Elle for, well, not doing much of anything. But don't blame her! The show apparently kept her far too busy to work on menial things like sitting at your desk all day looking over the free designer stuff PR companies sent you in hopes of being placed in Elle.

With that, I imagine Garcia isn't doing much at her new post except for gearing up to be on another freakin' reality show! That's right. This March, Marie Claire is launching Running in Heels, a show that will give the viewers an inside look into the professional and personal lives of the editors at the mag, on the Style Network.

And yeah. That means the cameras will be following Nina Garcia, too. As the press release reads: "Cameras will capture the 24/7 demands of their roles at the magazine and, through private video confessionals, viewers will learn how the interns cope with their jobs, their superiors and each other."

This should be interesting.

Book Review: "The One Hundred" by Nina Garcia

Email thisPosted Sep 10th 2008 at 10:09AM by Cat Lincoln

Filed under: Celebrities with Style, Product Reviews, Beauty Tips

This is the most fun book we've read in ages. Do you love lists? Do love fashion? Do you like little insider tid-bit anecdotes? Nina Garcia's The One Hundred fulfills all of these cravings. And more!

Billed as "A guide to the pieces every stylish woman must own" this book from the Project Runway judge actually lives up to the promise of the subtitle. Organized from A to Z, it includes a description of the item, some of Nina's classic favorites, and tips on how to wear it. From high heels to slippers, demin jackets to pearl necklaces, the basics are covered from luxe to fundamental.

The illustrations by Ruben Toledo give it a festive, Auntie Mame-ish feel, but also work to keep it from getting dated. Nothing gets stale as fast as a fashion photo, unless it's a picture of a computer!

This book is as perfect for someone just getting into fashion as it is for the experienced fashionista who wants a reminder of the great things in her closet. If it's on your coffee table, it will be picked up and read cover to cover by all of your girlfriends.

Reading is Fashionable: Little Black Book of Style by Nina Garcia

Email thisPosted Oct 29th 2007 at 5:47PM by Lauren Messiah

Filed under: Style in the News, Books

Back in August I blasted Nina Garcia for writing a book, and today I would like to apologize. Yeah that's right, I am saying that I am sorry. Why? Because I read the book and it's fantastic. I love it.

Nina Garcia's Little Black Book of Style helps you build your closet with staples that will last you a lifetime. Even though I am one to break fashion rules and almost never have a closet staple, I found this book very informative and useful. Nina also guides you to when and where you should wear certain outfits, how to combine colors, and ideas on how to achieve your own signature look.

My favorite aspect of book was the way she threw in little bits of history to go with every key piece you need in your wardrobe. While we are on the topic, I am sure you want to know what the staples are. I will just name just a few so I don't give them all away: a pair of ballet flats, a trench coat, quilted handbag, and a great pair of jeans.

The book also has beautiful illustrations from Ruben Toledo, which helps make the book that much more appealing. This book would make an excellent gift this holiday season.

Nina Garcia: A poor fashionista's Tim Gunn

Nina Garcia The Little Black Book of Style

Even though Elle is my favorite fashion magazine (minus the Kohl's episode), I still have beef with Nina Garcia. She just rubs me the wrong way, and I think it's because she tries too hard. First she is attempting to channel her inner Anna Wintour, which no one can do (at least not in this lifetime). When that didn't work, she moved on to fellow Project Runway star Tim Gunn.
Tim Gunn is fabulous. He didn't have to try because he is just that cool. What started as a little gig on Project Runway turned him into a modern day fashion god. He has authority without being too pushy, he talks and people listen. We love Tim. Because of his wild success, Tim was able to write a book Tim Gunn: A Guide to Quality, Taste,and Style. I read the book and though it's nothing to write home about, it seems it was good enough for Tim to get his own show on Bravo based on the book.

So what does Nina Garcia do? She writes a book of course. The is book called The Little Black Book of Style, which is due to hit shelves on September 4. The book is a "one-stop guide to cultivating a sense of personal style". Hmmm, sounds a bit familiar to me. The book will have illustrations (what fashionista likes reading?) and will let you know what closet essentials are okay to splurge on, as well as a wardrobe checklist.

She may not have her own television show to accompany the book, but she does have fashion designer Diane von Furstenberg on her side. Diane will host the books launch party on September 5th at New York hot spot Socialista. Sounds like fun -- have a drink for me.
