THE THOUGHTFUL DRESSER

Book ID/图书代码： 07980008B24854

English Summary/英文概要： ’A good handbag makes the outfit. Only the rich can afford cheap shoes. The only thing worse than being skint is looking as if you’re skint.’

For centuries, an interest in clothes has been dismissed as the trivial pursuit of vain empty-headed women. Yet, clothes matter, whether you are interested in fashion or not because what we choose to dress ourselves in defines our identity. For the immigrant arriving in a new country to the teenager who needs to be part of the fashion pack or the woman turning forty who must reassess her wardrobe, the truth is that how we look and what we wear, tells a story. And what a story. THE THOUGHTFUL DRESSER tells us how a woman’s hat saved her life in Nazi Germany, looks at the role of department stores in giving women a public place outside the home, savours the sheer joy of finding the right dress. Here is the thinking woman’s guide to our relationship with what we wear: why we want to look our best and why it matters. THE THOUGHTFUL DRESSER celebrates the pleasure of adornment

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 时装不是为了满足虚荣心，有思想的女人要学会用服装定位自己和表达自我。作为我们最亲密伙伴的服装，是有灵魂的，我们其实可以通过服装表达更为深刻的东西。
