Praise for Women in Clothes
"Poems, interviews, pieces that read like diary or journal entries--all these responses help the editors fulfill their aims: to liberate readers from the idea that women have to fit a certain image or ideal, to show the connection between dress and 'habits of mind, ' and to offer readers 'a new way of interpreting their outsides.' 'What are my values?' one woman asks. 'What do I want to express?' Those questions inform the multitude of eclectic responses gathered in this delightfully idiosyncratic book."--Kirkus Reviews "Thoughtfully crafted and visually entertaining, this collection, edited by Heti, Julavits, and Shapton, uses personal reflections from 642 contributors to examine women's relationship with clothes in a deceptively lighthearted and irreverent tone....it also inspires meaningful questions...the prose is spliced with striking visuals...[a] provocative time capsule of contemporary womanhood."--Publishers Weekly "[A] delirious assortment of conversations, essays, journal entries, and photographs...This big, busy book feels like a thrift store brimming with jumbles of clothes and accessories and alive with women's voices. Their comments and stories are canny, funny, incisive, twee, surprising, and caring, as thoughts and anecdotes about clothes touch on everything from gender to beauty, sex, mother-daughter relationships, aspirations, money, human rights, health, work, creativity, and violence. A uniquely kaleidoscopic and spirited approach to an irresistible subject of universal resonance."--Booklist "This is the wisdom of the crowd, and while it's not authoritative or prescriptive, it's reassuring and fun."--Associated Press "This charming patchwork expands the scope of fashion writing by looking not at forerunners of style but at how those outside the industry think about what they wear....The range of women involved [is] dazzling...a welcome addition to writing that often focuses on a single trend for all."--Madeleine Schwartz, The Boston Globe "[A] thoughtful, droll, and often moving tome...Women in Clothes is the pulchritudinous addendum to Mr. Twain's famous quote--clothes make the woman."--Sloane Crosley, Interview "[A] winningly zine-like compendium."--Megan O'Grady, Vogue.com "Women in Clothes dares to dive into the realm of heels and chiffon to suss out the deeper underpinnings of what we wear."--Bustle.comA beautifully illustrated ode to self-expression and personal style, featuring more than 225 contributors, edited by three critically acclaimed authors.

Softcover. Zustand: Good. THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERWomen in Clothes is a book unlike any other. It is essentially a conversation among hundreds of women of all nationalities-famous, anonymous, religious, secular, married, single, young, old-on the subject of clothing, and how the garments we put on every day define and shape our lives.It began with a survey. The editors composed a list of more than fifty questions designed to prompt women to think more deeply about their personal style. Writers, activists, and artists including Cindy Sherman, Kim Gordon, Kalpona Akter, Sarah Nicole Prickett, Tavi Gevinson, Miranda July, Roxane Gay, Lena Dunham, and Molly Ringwald answered these questions with photographs, interviews, personal testimonies, and illustrations.Even our most basic clothing choices can give us confidence, show the connection between our appearance and our habits of mind, express our values and our politics, bond us with our friends, or function as armor or disguise. They are the tools we use to reinvent ourselves and to transform how others see us. Women in Clothes embraces the complexity of womens style decisions, revealing the sometimes funny, sometimes strange, always thoughtful impulses that influence our daily ritual of getting dressed.
