”Clothes sit inside the closet, the shapes of people. They have their personalities: the chirpy little floral skirt like the chattering girl you can’t put down or shut up; the mean brooding dangerous leather dress, which will lead you over the other side of tracks where the bad boys are; the dependable jeans that hold and hug you, like an older brother; the ephemeral flighty blouse, that ever hopeful romantic. The severe black dress without ornament, like a woman who sits in a cae smoking a red-stubbed cigarette and draining a cup of scalding espresso, reading a copy of Liberation.<\/p>\n

[…] Clothes as text, clothes as narration, clothes as a story. Clothes as the story of our lives. And if you were to gather together all the clothes you have ever owned in all your life, each baby shoe and winter coat and wedding dress, you would have your autobiography. You could wear, once more, your own life in all its stages, from whatever they wrapped you in when you emerged from the dark red naked warmth of the womb, to your deathbed.”<\/p>\n
