Style and Substance: Why What We Wear Matters

An absolute delight for the style/fashion aware! Solely for the section on Oscar Wilde and Proportions this book is a gem. I had never even heard of The Rational Dress Society. So much fascinating and interesting opinions on what we wear and why in this book. A treasure!

A tedious read. Don't bother.

Nice and compact book about fashion style with some history. It has profiles of fashion icons. It's more of a reference book and just a nice handbag size pocket book.

Fascinating mini essays from celebrities and fashionistas about their passions and personal style. Gorgeous cover too.

extremely dull & boring. one star is too generous for this book. a lot of the chapters, or interviews have been regurgitated from the past. thank goodness l got it as a kindle special deal. l will be deleting it from my kindle asap.

This is such a unique and beautiful book - I had the pleasure of hearing Bay speak at The Trouble Club and she was fantastic!

This was a present and the recipient, who likes clothes, enjoyed it.

This is one of the most fun fashion books I have ever read! Words out of the mouths of people who think about what they—and we—wear. Perfect bedside book to read for a minute or an hour. I would love to see pictures of the protagonists! It has implications for how we choose our physical surroundings too—there’s another book here!
