How She’s Shaping What’s To Come
One of the academic-turned-fashionista’s greatest achievements is Alexander McQueen: Genius of a Generation, a tribute book dedicated to the work of the late designer. She is building on the success of her first publication with a second book, Culture to Catwalk: World Fashion, which is due out in September 2011 with her first novel also in the works.
Kristin leant that fashion was about more than just clothes following an internship at the FT Weekend fashion desk. It was there that she discovered fashion can be a useful and unique vocabulary with which to discuss the world around us, including politics, economics, history and psychology. With job opportunities limited in the recession, she decided to start her own blog and carve out her own path in the industry.
