Heres the book that explains why...Weve all been there: we stand in front of a wardrobe brimming with clothes, and find that nothing feels quite right, nothing makes us feel OK about ourselves. Although something new might fix it...Rebecca Willis unpicks our love-hate relationship with clothes, exploring the factors from neuroscience to the patriarchy that make us such easy prey for the fashion industry. After reading this book, you will understand why clothes matter and how they define us - and why caring about them doesnt make us vain or materialistic. Youll be able to silence your inner critic, ditch the guilt and open the wardrobe with a newfound sense of calm. Author Biography Rebecca Willis is a features journalist and writer. She worked at Vogue for 15 years and also at The Independent on Sunday. She was Associate Editor of Intelligent Life, former sister magazine of The Economist, where she wrote the "Applied Fashion" column. She lives in London with her family. Review Life, Death and Getting Dressed is stylish subversion - part polemic, part appreciation. Rebecca Willis confirms Coco Chanels belief that "fashion is what goes out-of-fashion". Yet theres no hint of joyless puritanism here: instead, an unmissable invitation to get dressed more thoughtfully and enjoy the unavoidable act of putting on clothes. * Stephen Bayley *This book is genius.
