Fashion Is Spinach: How to Beat the Fashion RacketAfter working as a stylist in Paris, Elizabeth Hawes (1903 71) launched one of the first American design houses in Depression era New York. Hawes was an outspoken critic of the fashion industry and a champion of ready to wear styles. Fashion Is Spinach, her witty and astute memoir, offers an insider's critique of the fashion scene during the 1920s and '30s. "I don't know when the word fashion came into being, but it was an evil day," Hawes declares.
After working as a stylist in Paris, Elizabeth Hawes (1903-71) launched one of the first American design houses in Depression-era New York. Hawes was an outspoken critic of the fashion industry and a champion of ready-to-wear styles. Fashion Is Spinach, her witty and astute memoir, offers an insider's critique of the fashion scene during the 1920s and '30s."I 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.

Great for keys
Color: Black
I haven’t misplaced my keys since I bought it. I do wish it were a little heavier in weight but it gets the job done

Great for simple jewelry
Color: Black
I’ve had it for some time now, it’s okay. Not the material I was expecting. It’s sturdy. It came with a few scratches, I did get a used one though. I recommend this product for simple jewelry for kids, and get something better quality for your more expensive jewelry.
