In Tales from the Back Row, Cosmopolitan.com editor Amy Odell takes
readers behind the stage of New York's hottest fashion shows to
meet the world's most influential models, designers, celebrities,
editors, and photographers. But first, she has to push her way
through the crowds outside, where we see the lengths people go to
be noticed by the lurking paparazzi, and weave her way through the
packed venue, from the very back row to the front. And as Amy
climbs the ladder (with tips about how you can, too), she
introduces an industry powered by larger-than-life characters: she
meets the intimidating Anna Wintour and the surprisingly gracious
Rachel Zoe, not to mention the hilarious Chelsea Handler, and more.
As she describes the allure of Alexander Wang's ripped tights and
Marchesa's Oscar-worthy dresses, Amy artfully layers in something
else: ultimately this book is about how the fashion industry is an
exaggerated mirror of human fallibility-reflecting our desperate
desire to belong, to make a mark, to be included. For Amy is the
first to admit that as much as she is embarrassed by the thrill she
gets when she receives an invitation to an exclusive after-party,
she can't help but RSVP "yes."
