Allison Lurie
Author of THE LANGUAGE OF CLOTHES
Long before I am near enough to talk to you on
the street, in a meeting or at a party, you
announce your sex, age, and class to me through
what you are wearing—and very possibly give
me important (or misinformation) as to your
occupation, origin, personality, opinions, tastes,
sexual desires, and current mood. By the time
we meet and converse, we have already spoken
to each other in an older and more universal
tongue.
