Review
FRONT ROW
Great escapism (Woman's Own)
'A must-read for those who want the lowdown - even if fictional - on what really goes on off the catwalk' -Red
'Lisa Armstrong injects her playful tale of a former journalist's return to fashion-writing with enough credibility to imply she speaks from experience. . . Reads less like fantasy than a thinly veiled expose' - Tatler
'A colourful concoction . . . as substantial as a thong bikini - and just as brilliant for the beach' - Marie-Claire
'Anyone who has even a passing interest in fashion and glossy mags will savour Front Row which feeds on the absurdities of the fashion world. Although there are lots of Ab Fab moments, Janie's character is entirely rooted in reality' - U Magazine
'Not since The Vicious Circle . . . has a novel been set to cause such a stir' - The Sunday Times
'Front Row will rank alongside the Bulgari sunglasses and Hermes beach towels as one of this summer's must-have accessories' -Evening Standard
'Super-glossy . . . Has all the juice of a Jackie Collins plus the kind of fash pack details that Armstrong, as fashion features director at Vogue, knows all about. Very light-hearted and so this season' - Elle
'Lisa Armstrong has done for frocks what Jilly Cooper did for polo . . . She has a wry eye, and what she saw was the zeitgeist . . . a merrily entertaining novel with an eerie finger on the pulse of everything modern . . . irresistibly funny . . . Armstrong writes exceptionally well and, because she knows what she is writing about, this is a jolly page-turner but not a dirt-disher . . . Vogue insider's novel is as sharp, fun and fizzy as a bag of sherbert lemons' - Daily Mail
'Armstrong paints a wickedly accurate picture of the odious world of fashion . . . perfect for putting your daughters off modelling'
- Mail on Sunday
'Lisa Armstrong has a witty way with words and some intelligent side-swipes to make . . . gives us the thrill of her insider knowledge into the workings of the mad and manic world of high fashion' - Maeve Haran, Express
'Ideal beach reading' - The Times
'Intelligent, witty blockbuster . . . a fast and very funny novel - with substance' - The Big Issue
'A deliciously funny insider's snapshot of the frenetic international fashion arena' - Good Housekeeping
'Great escapism' Woman's Own
'A witty read with plenty of glamour' Woman's Weekly
'Hours of spot-the-supermodel fun - don't leave the airport without it' Company
