Clothes & 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 & Other Things That Matter, Alexandra Shulman explores the meaning of clothes and how we wear them looking at items of clothing that range from the little black dress to the white shirt, red shoes to the bustier, and the Chanel jacket and the bikini. Taking pieces of clothing and examining their role in both her own life and women's lives in general, she explores issues such as climbing the career ladder, motherhood, romance, fame, celebrity, nostalgia, sexual identity, ambition, power and body image. Funny, opinionated and moving, Clothes & Other Things That Matter will encourage the reader to consider the way they wear their own clothes - the life they live in them and the stories they tell.
