5.0 out of 5 stars Wickedly funny, utterly refreshing, 14 Feb 2008
By C. F. S. Partridge (London, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Wickedly funny, utterly refreshing, perfect for anyone who loves fashion but who still has a proper sense of humour. Hadley Freeman writes with wit and style about the perils and delights of boots and bathing suits, the dos and don'ts of clutch bags and cleavages, the highs and lows of vanity (high) and velvet (definite, rock-bottom low). It's an absolute celebration of a world that is gorgeous and wonderful at the same time as being utterly ridiculous, and she captures its spirit perfectly - for example, in the affectionately scathing section on `Fashion speak' (in which `homage' is exposed as a blatant euphemism for `rip-off') or the bit on `Karl Lagerfeld, and why he's so wonderful' (number one being that he's so fantastically rude, although she puts it a bit more bluntly than that...). Sharp, chatty, slick and catty - an absolute blast of fresh air. I can't recommend this enough.

5.0 out of 5 stars Should be handed out to every woman on their 18th birthday..., 15 May 2009
By J. M. Williamson - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Meaning of Sunglasses: A Guide to (Almost) All Things Fashionable (Paperback)
The Meaning of Sunglasses starts out as an incredibly entertaining, sharply written, witty and stylish waltz through planet fashion. A bit of fun - because after all, it's only clothes, right? But what Hadley Freeman does, without recourse to ranting or diatribe, is actually raise some really interesting issues about women, self esteem, what we think we're saying about ourselves when we get dressed in the morning, what we actually are saying, and why it's ok to buy something nice for yourself if you can afford it and it makes you happy. You'll definitely learn something about yourself reading this book (and you'll laugh out loud while you do), even if it's that you shouldn't wear mittens if you're over 8 years old.
