Women in Clothes Book Synopsis

Women 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 women’s style decisions, revealing the sometimes funny, sometimes strange, always thoughtful impulses that influence our daily ritual of getting dressed.

Women in Clothes Book Review

just received this book from amazon on friday. finished it sunday afternoon. i didn’t really know what to expect from this book…the write up in a magazine made it sound interesting.
it is without a doubt one of the best books i’ve ever read. i felt so emotionally drained yet revitalized at the same time. i found myself veering off into my own thoughts time and again. the book is cathartic, whether you want it to be or not…sad and funny and just so damn human or should i say woman? plan on crying or at least getting close, especially if your own mother is gone.
i wish i had the words to describe it. you just have to read it..you really NEED to read it. i have this overwhelming urge now to document my whole life and send it to the authors.
my one tiny critique would be that the print is very, very small and the layout on some pages defies any real ability to read them without a ruler in hand to go from line to line. i found that extremely frustrating and gave up on a few pages before i even read the first word. thankfully, the whole book is not laid out that way or i would have sent it back unread.
