Nick Hilton, appointed CEO of a century-old clothing manufacturer at the age of 32, was a victim of a tragic optimism. He believed he could overcome the odds. Despite difficult family relations, despite a near-fatal drug and alcohol habit, blind to the threats posed by globalization and the changes in fashion and style, his early successes and a love of the craft drove him on. True stories like this of the fashion world are rarely told.
Hilton’s memoir, a study of the making of clothing and of a man, is an allegory of the end of American manufacturing, done in fast-moving, often humorous and vivid prose. It is a story of the loss of property and prestige with the unexpected ultimate gain of self-respect, love, and forgiveness.
