A New You ~ The Art of Good Grooming by Emily Wilkens 1965 Vintage Book

A New You ~ The Art of Good Grooming by Emily Wilkens 1965 Vintage Book A fun retro book featuring grooming, fashion, and lifestyle tips that were all the rage in 1965. Great illustrations by Erica Perl Merkling. A fun collectible book for the fan of vintage fashion and lifestyle trends from the 1960s. No dust jacket. Book intact, with signs of wear and use - including spots on back cover (see photos). A bit of the usual "old book" smell, not awful. Per retailer sources: "Emily Wilkens was an American fashion designer specializing in children's wear. She won both the Neiman Marcus Fashion Award and the Coty Award for her work, which was considered groundbreaking for properly taking note of the requirements of teenage dressing, and not simply offering miniature grown-up garments. She was also an author, writing a number of books on self care and style, and during the late 1960s and early 1970s, became a beauty journalist, writing an advice column." From smoke & pet free home.
