Fashion is Spinach

(no dust jacket) [nice-looking copy, minor shelfwear, light dust-darkening to top edge of text block, one-time owner's signature at top of front endpaper, small illustration on page following title page has been neatly colored-in by hand]. The brilliant Miss Hawes's first book, in which she "tells what is wrong with the fashion racket -- and what women can do about it," has become an enduring classic. Her approach and attitude are pretty much summed up by the titles (and one-line summaries) of the book's two sections: Part I, "The French Legend" ("All beautiful clothes are made in the houses of the French Couturires and all women want them."); and Part II, "Buy American" ("All American women can have beautiful clothes."). Hawes was an early and outspoken champion of economical, ready-to-wear fashions for both women and men; her book is in part dedicated "to the future designers of mass-produced clothes the world over."
