You didn’t need to have a lot of retail experience to work for Patricia Field, it seems, but you did need to have a whole lot of the right kind of attitude. But it also covers her more tender years growing up in New York City and Long Island, how her early store, Pants Pub, ignited a small revolution in downtown fashion, and how subsequent boutiques became a refuge for fantastic misfits of all stripes. Patricia Field’s memoir covers the territory you’d expect it to cover: how she got her gig as the costume designer for Sex In the City (including a charming anecdote about how she convinced showrunner Darren Star that a tutu was far superior to a shift dress for Carrie’s ensemble in the opening credits), her more recent exploits as the force behind the eyeball-scorching outfits on Emily In Paris. –Taylor Antrim Sam by Allegra Goodman (January)

Witty, deep, and positively entertaining, no student of thought should be without this historic book. 'Atheists may continue to war with Christianity, but it will be as they war with nature as they war with the landscape, as they war with the skies.' 'The life of man is a story an adventure story and in our vision the same is true even of the story of God.' Find out why in this complete reproduction of the 1925 British Edition.ĭeep common sense on every page, it includes great thoughts such as these: Lewis said it was the best popular defense of the full Christian position.
