We sat down with Christine Morrison, author of Clothes Minded, for a conversation about fashion, identity, aging and reinvention—and the stories our clothes tell about who we are and who we’ve been.
We talk about how our relationship with style changes as we get older, the memories we attach to what we wear, and what happens when we finally start dressing for ourselves.
And of course, we had to ask: So when do I take my clothes off? Maybe it’s when the clothes stop being about what we’re wearing—and start revealing who we really are.
Christine Morrison is a renowned journalist and the creator of Writing in Black and White, a newsletter and online platform that explores fashion and beauty through the lens of aging. After a career in advertising and fashion, including time at Calvin Klein, Christine reinvented herself as a writer in her 50s. She’s now the author of Clothes Minded: Fashionable Essays About Finding Yourself, which uses the clothes she’s worn throughout her life to tell a much bigger story about identity, aging and reinvention.
