From time to time, Extra Criticum authors post a quote from someone we admire, something that has stuck with us over the years and is, as they say, quotable.
Today, we hear from Elizabeth Hawes, author of Fashion is Spinach.
"America has a habit of priding herself on being a land of big time promotion and publicity. Most Americans engaged in it have never stopped to consider that the really big press agents of the world are the French. They have built something up which has lasted not for a week or a month or a season, but for nearly a century."
