The blurb from Vanity Fair Magazine sums up this book quite succinctly, "A Novel Approach to the Role Fashion Plays in Current NYC Society."  Though A Whirlwind Profession is the story of Tina, a fashion designer, much of the book centers on the fashion industry, the people involved in all aspects of fashions, and the importance of clothes to the characters.  The plot is truly minor to all of the descriptions of the fashions and the colorful characters who inhabit Tina’s world.  I found the story fascinating as it let me, as the reader, peek into a part of society that I know little about. 

I recommend A Whirlwind Profession to anyone looking for a light and most entertaining read.
