Pretty interesting, if a little unfocused. I was surprised to learn how some of the business aspects of the fashion world work. I thought her ideas about what happened to fashion were right on. I would give it a higher rating if it didn't ramble so much, and still leave me with some unanswered questions.

I disagree with the people here that say it's outdated, not much has happened in the last 10 years and that's one of the points of the book. I suspect that it would be mostly younger people that think there have been big changes since this book was written, they wouldn't realize how much faster fashion moved in the past, and what a wider arc it took.

This just fits with my broader theme that fashion, music, art, and most popular entertainment has been winding down for the last 20 years and now it's pretty much at a standstill.
