Clothes… and other things that matter

Part memoir, part fashion history, part social commentary, Alexandra Shulman's Sunday Times bestseller explores the meaning of clothes and how we wear them, with a new preface on how recent world events have changed our relationship with clothes.

In Clothes... and other things that matter, Alexandra Shulman delves into her life to look at the emotions, ambitions, expectations, and meanings behind how we dress.

From the bra to the bikini, the trench coat to trainers, the slip dress to the suit, she explores their meaning in women's lives and how our wardrobes intersect with the larger world - the career ladder, motherhood, romance, sexual identity, ambition, failure, body image, and celebrity.

By turns funny, refreshingly self-deprecating, and often very moving, this startlingly honest memoir from the ex-Editor of British Vogue will encourage women of all ages to consider what their clothes mean to them, the life they live in them, and the stories they tell.
