'I really did enjoy this book! It was a truly engaging and well-written look at various aesthetic aspects of Viennese life, and laid a foundation for a very interesting future discussion on fashion and the spaces it inhabits, fills, or is lacking.' -- Worn Through, Arianna Funk 'A masterpiece which isn't afraid to own up to its scholarly rigor. Equally satisfying to the coffee table book skimmer as it will be to the serious student of fashion and history' -- Amie Zimmer, Parson's School of Design magazine

'A masterpiece which isn't afraid to own up to its scholarly rigor.

The book that Susan Ingram and Markus Reisenleitner have coauthored is a masterpiece which isn't afraid to own up to its scholarly rigor. Equally satisfying to the coffee table book skimmer as it will be to the serious student of fashion and history, Wiener Chic: a Locational History of Vienna Fashion is a book that attempts to expose the preconditions of history which have given rise to the dynamism of Vienna fashion. --Insights Magazine
