Fashion is Spinach by Elizabeth Hawes

4.0

Fascinating memoir of an American custom women's clothing designer in the 1930's - especially so given a that the author has a kind of progressive political bent that would at first seem to be at odds with the industry (and actually is, TBH, she just thinks that women with less money should be able to find clothes that fit and wear well and that men should be able to be comfortable in their clothing). I particularly enjoyed her musings on the clothing of the future and how the finances of the industry dictate the clothing that results.
