Don't miss this interview with Nina Garcia.

Here is a highlight: So besides the Michael C. ostracism and condescension, "Runway" has been teasing something incredibly dramatic coming up. The promos are incredibly cryptic, however, so we can't tell if a designer straight out cheats and steals a design, completely flips out or makes some huge sacrifice.

Garcia isn't really any more specific, but she urges viewers to stay tuned.

"It gets really good," she promises. "It's very soon. It's just a very emotional moment in the show, and it's the first time that something like this has happened. It's a very powerful and a very admirable moment."

Tim Gunn has also hinted about something very emotional coming up. He hints that it happens "on the runway." Any theories?

Nina Garcia's Look Book - Perfect Gift

I have had the latest book by Nina Garcia (Nina Garcia's Look Book) on my night stand since it arrived from Amazon. In fact, all Nina's previous books, The Style Strategy, The Little Black Book of Style and The One Hundred, have a home next to my bed. Not only do I love the illustrations in her current effort (Ruben Toledo, as in all of her books) but I feel that Nina has fabulous wisdom about what looks both fresh and yet timelessly effortless in fashion for nearly every situation.

Nina tells us in this essential reference how to dress for a myriad of occasions from a job interview to a first date to a wedding to meeting the parents of your intended. Who hasn't agonized over such decisions? And best of all it is written in Nina's voice as she urges us to bring confidence to our decisions; who wouldn't feel that way when when one knows that the Fashion Director of Marie Claire and Project Runway judge has suggested one's look?

It is no surprise to me that I find Nina Garcia's Look Book charming. What did startle me was how many people I could think that would really value this book as a present. It would make a lovely hostess gift, birthday gift but most of all it would be a valued gift for a college graduate (the latter perhaps coupled with a gift card to Banana Republic or J. Crew.) And while you're giving, don't forget to receive a copy yourself.
