In her controversial second book in the Fashion 2.0 series, Season of Change, serial entrepreneur Yuli Ziv analyzes major technology trends and forecasts their effect on the fashion industry. She questions why everyday objects such as clothes used by the entire human race see so little innovation. Her book, with a foreword by a visionary venture capitalist Lawrence Lenihan of FirstMark Capital, is a wakeup call to the outdated fashion industry.

A must-read for everyone involved in the business of fashion from designers to company CEOs and marketers, Ziv's bold predictions - sure to incite debate - address the future of the industry in multiple areas including consumer, branding, retail, product and lifestyle. Her goal is to provoke thought and foster innovation by challenging the status quos-from seasonal collections to pricing models; production and manufacturing; traditional advertising; trend forecasting; fashion week and more. She also offers up ideas for fellow entrepreneurs seeking to make their mark on the industry.

Ziv highlights trends that brands need to consider in developing a successful strategy to navigate this new environment of constant change including: the rise of group consciousness and crowd sourcing; the shift from search to discovery; the power of suggestion; the monetization of influence; personal style as a commodity; personalization; interaction and engagement; efficiencies; and data as the new retail currency. She takes a critical look at luxury brands, stating that innovation is slowly replacing heritage as the new attribute of luxury for the future.

Inspired by innovation leaders like Ray Kurzweil, Ziv applies his Singularity theory to fashion by viewing it as part of the bigger change we are experiencing. Ziv proposes taking a page from the consumer electronics industry in her overview of new technologies - from smart fabrics to interactive retail, wearable tech and social tools - and challenges industry leaders to re-examine the role fashion plays in our overall way of life. According to Ziv, optimizing our lifestyle is the new slogan of our decade. Streamlining the bureaucratic, inefficient processes that currently fill our life will allow all of us as a society to focus on things that matter. We will waste fewer resources and produce more meaningful objects. The book is aimed to inspire the radical change in thinking, which is needed to foster that.

The best-selling The Skin Regime: Boot Camp for Beautiful Skin is now in its 2nd Edition. The book is is updated, expanded and still reveals the truth about beauty products and skin care: Why most products are junk and a huge waste of time and money. Direct and humorous, the book instructs how to create a personalized regime based on products and advice most dermatologists recommend for their patients: The truly skin-transforming ingredients that really work to make gorgeous skin. You won't find the truth in beauty magazines because they exist to advertise lotions and potions made by the over-priced cosmetic industry. And those ridiculous models they use--teenagers or movie stars with good skin, wearing tons of makeup with heavily-altered photos. They want you to look like that when even those girls don't look like that You won't find the truth from estheticians who just want you to keep paying for expensive facials--they don't want you to know how easy it is to get the proper ingredients and do it yourself, saving lots of time and money. But you WILL get the truth in this book. Well-known dermatologist, Dr. David Bank, provides the book's foreword and was the technical advisor--he is not afraid to tell the truth, either If you like to get pampered with salon facials or doctor treatments--and it's working well for you--then keep enjoying yourself. But not everyone has that kind of money--or time. And with a big dose of bravado, The Skin Regime presents a first-time ever challenge to established cosmetic companies to see if any of them can even come close to the results of The Skin Regime. (We bet no major cosmetic company will accept the challenge--because they KNOW they won't even come close). Five percent of book revenues are being donated to worthy non-profit organizations.

Did you know that most causes of hair loss are manmade? The overuse of chemicals, scissors, and razors are disastrous to scalp health. A lush rain forest is ruined by clear-cutting just as close-cropping the head invites a desert. To add insult to injury biocides (which include many hair products) aggravate the environment further by destroying the vital inhabitants thereof. Once the process is complete you acquire a landscape like the moon complete with blemishes, scars, and skin eruptions, even cancer.
