This volume was published in 1938. Elizabeth Hawes is one of the best-known and most successful designers of smart women's clothes in America, and the undisputed leader of the small group of American designers who have challenged the style supremacy of Paris. Miss Hawes' story is an adventure into every phase of the women's clothing industry, the sec- ond largest business in the United States. Her early struggles for recognition and her final lead- ership in helping to shift the center of the fashion industry from Paris to New York make a story that will appeal not only to the initiate, but to thousands besides and to their husbands. .............................................................................. Some Opinions about the Book: "'Consumers attention! Elizabeth Hawes tells us that 'the deformed thief Fashion' steals the real value out of what we buy. She suggests a remedy. She makes a plea for functional and durable merchandise. Consumers want that too. "Although Fashion Is Spinach deals exclusively with the clothing industry it has a wider application." ALINE DAVIS HAYS President, League of Women Shoppers "There are few enough books written by people who know what they are talking about. And few enough of those few which either make sense or, making sense, have the wit to hold the reader's interest through even a short summer evening. But Hawes' book on fashion is one. It is fun to read, exciting to think about. . . . She is a fiery, human little David taking a shot at that fantastic Goliath which is the fashion world and plunking it right in its dreamy eye." RALPH INCERSOLL, publisher, TIME .............................................................................. A THREE-STAR REVIEW: Reviewer: cady11418 - - January 15, 2010 Subject: Fashion is spinach?? I didn't get the joke on the title. The book is a personal account of Ms. Hawes who in her day was a notable American designer. Though the writing I found could be a bit uneven in places and lost the thread of her thought it was overall an insiders look in being an American designer. She worked in Paris and ultimately opened her shop in NY. Ms. Hawes was definitely bucking the trend yet had to succomb at times in order to support her business.

Excerpt from Fashion Is SpinachLanvin and Chanel, Hawes and Valentina, are funda mentally occupied with selling style. The manufacturer and the department store are primarily occupied with selling fashion.I don't know when the word fashion came into being, but it was an evil day. For thousands of years people got along with something called style and maybe, in another thousand, we'll go back to it.Style is that thing which, being looked back upon after a century, gives you the fundamental feeling of a certain period in history. Style in Greece in 2000 bc. Was delicate outdoor architecture and the clothes which went with it. Style in the Renaissance was an elaborately carved stone cathedral and rich velvet, gold trimmed robes. Style doesn't change every month or every year. It only changes as often as there is a real change in the point of view and lives of the people for whom it is produced.Style in 1937 may give you a functional house and comfortable clothes to wear in it. Style doesn't give a whoop whether your comfortable clothes are red or yellow or blue, or whether your bag matches your shoes. Style gives you shorts for tennis because they are practical. Style takes away the wasp-waisted corset when women get free and active.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
