*** 'Warm, thought-provoking and honest.' - Victoria Hislop
'Clever, emotionally intelligent, revelling in style without making
us yearn to shop.' - The Times 'Self-deprecating and stylish, this
is sure to become a classic.' - Vanity Fair 'Thoughtful, wry and
candid.' - Mail on Sunday 'A must-read memoir for even those beyond
the fashion set.' - Evening Standard 'It's funny, honest and in
typical Shulman style mixes high and low effortlessly. We don't
know many people who can write about bras, Donald Tusk and
Madeleine Albright all in the same sentence.' - A Little Bird
'Scintillating reading.' - The Spectator 'Alexandra Shulman's style
is unaffected, immediate and hilariously dry. She's brilliant at
observing everyday feelings in a joy-sparking turn of phrase.' -
Helena Bonham Carter - 'Clothes... and other things that matter is
a book not only about clothes but about the way we live our lives.
From childhood onwards, the way we dress is a result of our
personal history. In a mix of memoir, fashion history and social
observation I am writing about the person our clothes allows us to
be and sometimes the person they turn us into.' - Alexandra Shulman
In Clothes... and other things that matter, Alexandra 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 from the
ex-Editor of British Vogue 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.
