Women in Clothes by Sheila Heti, Heidi Julavits, and Leanne Shapton will be released on September 4, 2014. This book is a compilation of interviews, conversations, essays, and photographic collections from 642 contributors and their unique relationship with clothes. (Includes interviews with Miranda July, Cindy Sherman, and Lena Dunham) Women in Clothes dives into the complexities of how clothes forms our identities as women - spanning generations, cultures, countries, class, gender, sexuality, and fashion. Clothes act as our outward persona and simultaneously our shield. Clothes can be intensely connected to memory. The stories held within are touching, relatable, and often raw.

This is a crucial addition for any fashion library. As an artist myself who often works with the idea of clothes and identity within my sculpture, I wish this resource had been available years ago. I will be purchasing it for my personal library for reference. After reading Women in Clothes, you will have renewed enthusiasm to wear whatever makes you feel most like you.

Every women should read this book! This is a all encompassing review of clothing and its importance in how we present ourselves. The interviews with women are insightfully done and may just change your idea of style. I came away after reading this book with a vivid picture of what style really is to me personally and what it represents. Wonderfully done. No matter if your 20 , 30 or 55, this book is for a ll women. Well done. . I plan on giving this book for Christmas presents .
