Clothes Minded: Fashionable Essays About Finding Yourself

What do our clothes say about who we are - and who we're striving to be?In Clothes Minded: Fashionable Essays About Finding Yourself, renowned journalist Christine Morrison weaves together fashion, memory and identity in a collection that's as emotionally resonant as it is sharply observed. With savvy and self-awareness, she explores how we use clothing not just to show up in the world, but to shape, survive, and sometimes, escape it. Growing up inspired by fashion magazines and The Official Preppy Handbook, Morrison worked in advertising and led in an executive role at Calvin Klein before reinventing herself as a writer for iconic fashion and beauty brands. She brings a rare blend of industry insight and personal vulnerability as she shares her journey through love, loss, marriage, motherhood, and the ongoing process of figuring out who she really is beneath the clothes.Morrison also turns the lens outward, sharing candid reflections and style takeaways from some of fashion and beauty's most respected voices-stylists, designers, founders, and creatives who know how personal style can shape a life, including Sarah Clary, April Gargiulo, Daryl K, Roz Kaur, Nikki Kule, Joyce Lee, Stacy London, Megan Papay, Meg Strachan, April Uchitel, Tiffany Wendel, and Meg Younger.Whether you're standing in front of your closet trying to figure out what to wear or wondering how our outfits tell our stories, look to Clothes Minded for a warm, funny, and deeply honest exploration of the layers we put on-and the people we keep discovering underneath.
