Hawes was an outspoken critic of the fashion industry and a champion of ready-to-wear styles. \u003ci\u003eFashion Is Spinach, \u003c\/i\u003e her witty and astute memoir, offers an insider's critique of the fashion scene during the 1920s and '30s. \u003cbr\u003eI don't know when the word fashion came into being, but it was an evil day, Hawes declares. Style, she maintains, reflects an era's mood, altering only with changes in attitude and taste. Fashion, conversely, exists only to perpetuate sales. Hawes denounces the industry's predatory practices, advising readers to reject ever-changing fads in favor of comfortable, durable, flattering attire. Decades ahead of her time, she offers a fascinating and tartly observed behind-the-scenes look at the fashion industry's economics, culture, and ethics. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Elizabeth Hawes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0486797317\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780486797311\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dover Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/17\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 0.60d","brand":"Elizabeth Hawes","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44044781125887,"sku":"9780486797311","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_384371a5-ed12-4b1b-b975-f8014eb8afb2.jpg?v=1684974853","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/fashion-is-spinach-elizabeth-hawes-9780486797311","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
