Nina's Fashion Necessities
Project Runway star and MC Fashion Director Nina Garcia's style survival kit.
A little like Picasso without his paints, Nina Garcia was recently separated from her beloved wardrobe during an apartment remodeling. When she'd sneak back home to snatch what she called "items I couldn't imagine living without" — amassed throughout her long fashion career — she wondered if there was a book in all this. Hence, The One Hundred: A Guide to the Pieces Every Stylish Woman Must Own (Collins). Here, a select few of her no-fail style favorites.
