Description

''Clothes is the perfect isolation read - clever, emotionally intelligent, revelling in style without making us yearn to shop'' - Hannah Betts, The Times

''Self-deprecating and stylish, this is sure to become a classic.'' - Vanity Fair

''A life beyond Moss, mwahs and Manolo Blahniks - by the fashionista that really knows [...] a wry and candid part-memoir, part-fashion history, part-social commentary.'' - Mail on Sunday

Chosen as ''book of the week'' by the Observer:''It might just be the perfect lockdown pick-me-up''

''Shulman can craft a good story and has an eye for great pictures [...] it will make perfect lockdown reading, an opportunity to shut out the real world and meander through the Arcadian years of fashion.'' - The Sunday Times

''She has written about her clothes, and given us some scintillating reading. [...] hugely engaging memoir.'' - Emily Bearn, The Spectator

''I really loved this book - it''s warm, thought-provoking and honest. In the end, I had to ration myself because I didn''t want to finish. In these frankly strange times it was wonderful and comforting.'' - Victoria Hislop

''I loved this book. It''s great company and a Corona comfort. [She] has made me feel so much better about owning too many clothes. Instead of doing a ruthless edit I find myself curating my own private exhibition - inside my wardrobe hang not just clothes, not just stories but my own autobiography.'' - Helena Bonham Carter

''From the hat that went to a Royal wedding to a life-changing bathrobe, Alexandra Shulman tells her life story in clothes ... in her hotly anticipated memoir'' -You magazine

Chosen by Stylist as one of 2020''s best non-fiction books

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, 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.
