Reviews

It is always a delight to discover a non-fiction writer who can write about history with both intelligence and levity. Although this book is well suited as a textbook, it is an engaging and thoughtful read for even seasoned fashion veterans.
*Ingrid Mida, Fashion is my Muse*

The Anatomy of Fashion is a glorious, resounding, and opulent "yes" to the untapped energy of seeing fashion as a cultural artifact of the utmost intimacy.
