Fraser, Kennedy. The Fashionable Mind, Reflections on Fashion, 1970-1981. Book and dust jacket are both in very good condition—there is a third-party gift inscription on the flyleaf, and jacket shows mild fading.
Disregard fashion writing at your own peril. The best kind penetrates far deeper than the prevailing standard in hemlines or what they are wearing in Paris. This excellent collection of essays from the fashion critic at The New Yorker easily falls into this category. Whether discussing blue jeans, the Balenciaga retrospective at the Met, or the decline of haute couture, Fraser is as concerned with the way we live as she is with what we are wearing but writes eloquently about both.
“The Balenciaga clothes currently on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art are as awe-inspiring as the dinosaurs across the Park at the Museum of Natural History—and as extinct.”
