With a rich sense of history and firm grasp on the current culture, Veronique Hyland is your fashion trend translator. Her debut essay collection-wry, thoughtful, and always provocative-is a must read for anyone who cares about clothes...which is to say, everyone. -- <strong>Nina Garcia, ELLE Editor-in-Chief and <em>Project Runway</em> judge</strong> This riveting, mind-expanding book made me see the world differently. I'll be thinking about Hyland's funny, incisive observations for years to come -- she has a way of putting things that makes the world snap into focus with its colors slightly sharper and brighter. You will not be able to stop talking about the things you learn from this book! -- <strong>Emily Gould, author of <em>Friendship</em> and <em>Perfect Tunes</em></strong> Anyone who opts in to wearing clothes (and even those who opt out) should pay attention to this book. -- <strong><em>Library Journal </em>(starred review)</strong> Veronique Hyland's tremendous essay collection is for fashionistas who like their frock talk served with politics. -- <strong>Shelf Awareness, starred review</strong>
