I have thoroughly enjoyed reading this memoir by dress designer Jenny Packham. I absolutely loved hearing about her creative process and where she gets her inspiration - I found this really fascinating and inspiring. This book perfectly balances fashion and creativity with tales from family life. The final chapter is very moving and beautifully written. The photos in the book are light and bright and accompany the words well. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC.

I thought this was a really interesting book and seeing a glimpse into a fashion designer, I found fascinating.

Thank you NetGalley for my complimentary copy in return for my honest review.

I didn’t know much about Jenny Packham before reading this (I didn’t even know Chris Packham is her brother!), but I really enjoyed it. It’s written in an entertaining and accessible style - like a chat with a fascinating friend - and features stories from Jenny’s life, along with how she finds inspiration for her designs. I think those moments were my favourite - her passion for her work shines through. Although I also won’t forget the description (and photo!) is her brother’s underpants any time soon.
