Wickedly funny, utterly refreshing February 14, 2008
C. F. S. Partridge (London, England)
11 out of 11 found this review helpful
Wickedly funny, utterly refreshing, perfect for anyone who loves fashion but who still has a proper sense of humour. Hadley Freeman writes with wit and style about the perils and delights of boots and bathing suits, the dos and don'ts of clutch bags and cleavages, the highs and lows of vanity (high) and velvet (definite, rock-bottom low). It's an absolute celebration of a world that is gorgeous and wonderful at the same time as being utterly ridiculous, and she captures its spirit perfectly - for example, in the affectionately scathing section on `Fashion speak' (in which `homage' is exposed as a blatant euphemism for `rip-off') or the bit on `Karl Lagerfeld, and why he's so wonderful' (number one being that he's so fantastically rude, although she puts it a bit more bluntly than that...). Sharp, chatty, slick and catty - an absolute blast of fresh air. I can't recommend this enough.
