Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
After working as a stylist in Paris, Elizabeth Hawes (190371) launched one of the first American design houses in Depressionera New York. Hawes was an outspoken critic of the fashion industry and a champion of readytowear styles. Fashion Is Spinach, her witty and astute memoir, offers an insider's critique of the fashion scene during the 1920s and '30s.'I don't know when the word fashion came into being, but it was an evil day,' Hawes declares. Style, she maintains, reflects an era's mood, altering only with changes in attitude and taste. Fashion, conversely, exists only to perpetuate sales. Hawes denounces the industry's predatory practices, advising readers to reject everchanging fads in favor of comfortable, durable, flattering attire. Decades ahead of her time, she offers a fascinating and tartly observed behindthescenes look at the fashion industry's economics, culture, and ethics.
