Will women ever get tired of fashion?
Maybe not. Women’s interest in fashion is apparently insatiable but their sources of information could become repetitive, even bland.
In “The Meaning of Sunglasses: And a Guide to Almost All Things Fashionable,” Hadley Freeman, deputy fashion editor and columnist for London’s Guardian, gives a satirical and most definitely fun new take on a topic that is so often written about in magazines, newspapers, books, or even screenplays and TV scripts.
In delightfully snarky mini-essays, Freeman writes about the world of fashion and the clothes that define it, with topics that range from “(D) Dates and why they are the one event where you really don’t need to worry about what you wear” to “(V) Vanity and the joys thereof.”
Freeman will answer fashion-related questions you’ve always wondered about—like why fashion seems to be repeating itself—and those you never thought to ask: like what proper fashion show behavior is, what the dangers of wearing flats are, if men will still make a pass at you if you wear glasses, and what Sex and the City didn’t give to fashion.
This witty encyclopedia is a tribute to what fashion is all about—a fun means of self-expression that is most definitely for women, no matter what people say.
Don’t you wish those thick encyclopedias you were required to read in high school were as much a pleasure to read and handy as this one?
“The Meaning of Sunglasses” is available at all National Book Store branches for P979.
