The following excerpt was plucked from a terrifically informative historical tome entitled Fashion Fundamentals. Penned in 1947 by one Bernice Chambers, Assistant Professor at New York University’s School of Retailing, the book contains bios on (now forgotten) fashion design trailblazers as well as quite a few quotable morsels about the fashion industry. A few of the finest, most timeless bits will be sprinkled into GlamChic including monthly lists of the most season’s stylish events. And guess what? Nowhere does a red carpet, store opening, or gala soiree come into play.
