And what about the art? Art? What art? Most of that has gone by the wayside in the effort to produce ever more outrageous outfits highlighting yet another part of the body, sideboobs, slit to crotch etc. Everything now is More and Bigger and that is Sexier and Sexier means More Money. Companies that used to be considered to have some integrity, like Vogue promoting not just clothes, but creative artists who worked in the medium of fashion, have jumped on the bandwagon.

This book says a lot about what is considered important in American culture and that the art of publicity is no longer disseminating information but the art of creating and branding products for money, truth be damned.
