Life, Death and Getting Dressed by Rebecca Willis
A beguiling, thought-provoking investigation of our love-hate relationship with clothes
Life, Death and Getting Dressed is stylish subversion - part polemic, part appreciationRebecca Willis confirms Coco Chanel's belief that "fashion is what goes out-of-fashion". Yet there's no hint of joyless puritanism here: instead, an unmissable invitation to get dressed more thoughtfully and enjoy the unavoidable act of putting on clothes. * Stephen Bayley *
This book is genius. It pinpoints all the things I have ever felt about my wardrobe - how clothes affect us, the hidden meanings, the peer pressure, the evolution of fashion, the guilt purchases... it's funny, charming and brilliantly explained. You'll feel better just reading it! * Emma Forbes *
Rebecca's book considers clothes and our attitudes to them from a wildly original and truly kaleidoscopic range of angles. * Alexandra Shulman *
A fascinating deep dive that will make you think differently about the clothes you wear and why you bought them. * Lisa Armstrong, The Telegraph *
