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


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. -- Bob Duggan * bigthink.com *
