From the ex-editor of British Vogue, Clothes…and other things that matter is a beautiful and philosophical exploration of what we wear and why. If you’re interested in the psychology of fashion, this thoughtful book is for you. The writing is delicate and warm and helps us understand that we choose to wear that oversized jumper in order to feel desexualised and small; why the hunt for the perfect dress is a search for perfection in ourselves and why everything comes back to music.

In her Daily Life Lesson, Alexandra explores colour, androgyny, age and why micro-thoughts have helped support her in her life and career.
