Hardback. Condition: New. Language: English. Brand new Book. Excerpt from Fashion Is Spinach Lanvin and Chanel, Hawes and Valentina, are funda mentally occupied with selling style. The manufacturer and the department store are primarily occupied with selling fashion. I don't know when the word fashion came into being, but it was an evil day. For thousands of years people got along with something called style and maybe, in another thousand, we'll go back to it. Style is that thing which, being looked back upon after a century, gives you the fundamental feeling of a certain period in history. Style in Greece in 2000 bc. Was delicate outdoor architecture and the clothes which went with it. Style in the Renaissance was an elaborately carved stone cathedral and rich velvet, gold trimmed robes. Style doesn't change every month or every year. It only changes as often as there is a real change in the point of view and lives of the people for whom it is produced. Style in 1937 may give you a functional house and comfortable clothes to wear in it. Style doesn't give a whoop whether your comfortable clothes are red or yellow or blue, or whether your bag matches your shoes. Style gives you shorts for tennis because they are practical. Style takes away the wasp-waisted corset when women get free and active. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

BOOK RESUME: Elizabeth Hawes is one of the best-known and most successful designers of smart womens clothes in America, and the undisputed leader of the small group of American designers who have challenged the style supremacy of Paris. Miss Hawes story is an adventure into every phase of the womens clothing industry, the second largest business in the United States. Her early struggles for recognition and her final leadership in helping to shift the centre of the fashion industry from Paris to New York make a story that will appeal not only to the initiate, but to the thousands besides - and to their husbands. 'Consumers attention!' Elizabeth Hawes tells us that the deformed thief Fashion steals the real value out of what we buy. She suggests a remedy. She makes a plea for functional and durable merchandise. Consumers want that too. 'Although Fashion is Spinach deals exclusively with the clothing industry it has a wider application' Aline Davis Hays President, League of Women Shoppers.
