I wanted to know what women thought about when they bought clothes, and what they were thinking as they put outfits together. What inspired you to start working on this project? Sheila Heti: I went to the bookstore one day looking for a very specific book. Here, Sheila, Leanne, and Heidi explain a bit more about the project, the virtues of group think, and, of course, clothes: And in the spirit of collaboration (and Shine Theory, perhaps?) the three editors are asking for those interested in participating to submit answers to a style survey they’ve created specifically for the purpose of the book. The book, due out next year from Penguin, will include offerings from inspiring thinkers and artists like Miranda July and Zadie Smith. Longing to know the secrets behind how and why women dress the way they do, writers Sheila Heti, Leanne Shapton, and Heidi Julavits have joined forces on a soon-to-be completed book, Women in Clothes: Why We Wear What We Wear. An ever-changing cast of concerns factors into how we dress on a given day-our mood, the weather, how much time we have to get ready, where we’re going, who we expect to see.
