D.V. by Diana Vreeland, $14.10
The autobiography of the grand dame of American fashion—think Harper’s Bazaar, Vogue and the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute—is filled with her obsessions in high and low fashion (she loved pink poodles); personal eccentricities (she had her maid iron her money every morning); and classic quotes like, “Blue jeans are the most beautiful things since the gondola,” and “pink is the navy blue of India.”
Purchase D.V.
A Model Summer by Paulina Porizkova, $14.95
This debut novel, by the 1980s supermodel and wife of rocker Ric Ocasek, provides a first-hand glimpse into the sometimes shocking world of modeling. You will gasp as the heroine, at age 15, learns to sleep with photographers to secure jobs; wince when the tungsten lights turn her eyes bright red and bloody; and mourn as she loses the few people she trusts. The book is clearly written by someone who knows the industry well. It is also, for all its juicy subject matter, a surprisingly poetic tale.

Men May Come and Men May Go but I’ve Still Got My Little Pink Raincoat: Life and Love in and out of My Wardrobe by Gigi Anders, $19.95
These engaging essays are each dedicated to a different glamorous and hard-to-find piece of clothing owned by the narrator. The work begins with the hunt for a pink raincoat that she is convinced will make her increasingly distant boyfriend see her in an entirely new light. She finds it. He turns out to be colorblind. For anyone who ever believed that the right piece of clothing would provide a whole new lease on life.
Purchase Little Pink Raincoat.
