"I am writing about the person our clothes allows us to be, and sometimes the person they turn us into." - Alexandra Shulman
Part memoir, part fashion history, part social commentary, Alexandra Shulman - former Vogue UK editor - explores the meaning of clothes and how we wear them.
In Clothes... and Other Things that Matter, Shulman delves into her own life to look at the emotions, ambitions, expectations and meanings behind the way we dress.
From the bra to the bikini, the trench coat to trainers, the slip dress to the suit, she explores their meaning in women's lives and how our wardrobes intersect with the larger world - the career ladder, motherhood, romance, sexual identity, ambition, failure, body image and celebrity.
By turns funny, refreshingly self-deprecating and often very moving, this startlingly honest memoir will encourage women of all ages to consider what their own clothes mean to them, the life they live in them and the stories they tell.
Alexandra Shulman iis a writer and commentator. She was British Vogue's Editor-in-Chief from 1992 to 2017 and was awarded the CBE in the 2018 New Year's Honours list.

She has written two novels, Can We Still Be Friends (2012) and The Parrots (2015) and Inside Vogue: The Diary of My 100th Year (2016).
I really loved this book- it's warm, thought-provoking and honest. In the end, I had to ration myself because I didn't want to finish. In these frankly strange times it was wonderful and comforting. - Victoria Hislop Such a great read - so open and honest and funny. I devoured it in one sitting. - Kirsty Wark A must-read memoir for even those beyond the fashion set. - Evening Standard
