Ok, so I have both a problem and a strange fascination with fashion books. Fashion books are mostly name-droppy, classist, expensive, dictatorial twaddle that make women feel bad while purporting to make them feel good.

My family and I eat a whole foods, plant-based diet (WFPB), so I started this book knowing I probably wouldn't agree with quite a bit of the nutritional advice.
