As someone with a borderline unhealthy love of Nora Ephron, I instantly fell in love with this premise the moment I read about Nora and Delia Ephron converting it into an off-Broadway play. The premise is simple, but so relatable to so many women out there. It’s a memoir about the clothes in Ilene Beckerman’s life, and the stories that happened while she was wearing them. I know that personally, I remember so many moments based on what I was wearing while I experienced them, so I know a ton of other people do that as well!

You may not know Brad Goreski just yet, but give it a time, because in a few months that will be a completely different story.

He’s had quite the career in the fashion industry, even though his star is just starting to rise! Get to know him now before his star truly rises!

There are very few names in the fashion industry that will never be forgotten, and even fewer of them have written memoirs.

The most experience I’ve ever had with a Birkin bag was the episode of Gilmore Girls when Logan buys Rory a Birkin bag, and I took two things away from that episode. Number one: why would he buy her something in hot pink when it’s obviously meant to be a timeless piece? And number two: if Emily Gilmore thinks this bag is a big deal, it really must be a big deal. This memoir is about the hunt for the ever-illusive Birkin bag, one that took Michael Tonello to nearly every continent in the world.

When you think of Vogue, you probably think of Anna Wintour. However, there are other famous faces behind the scenes at Vogue, like Grace Coddington, the creative director behind the U.S. edition. Before she worked at Vogue, though, she was a model, and she has one of the most compelling stories out there. Whether you want to write for a magazine or become a model, this memoir is just right for you!

If you're on the American side of the pond, you probably remember Alexa Chung from her show on MTV. However, on the other side of the pond, she's one of the biggest fashion icons of the past few years, and her memoir will definitely convince you of that!
