inspiring journey through the mind of one of fashion's greatest
inventors and iconoclasts. Filled with never-before-seen archival

Original. Page after page of Bonnie Cashin: Chic is Where You Find
It attests to all that. . . [Cashin's] sketches are
wonderfully modern, her handwritten notes, scattered throughout the
book, reveal the depth of her thoughtful design process. . . Lake's

infinitely satisfying."
