No One Has Seen It All

Praise for Betty Halbreich, her work, and her memoirs

“Considered by genuine and aspiring grandes dames to be fashion’s leading personal shopper, [Betty Halbreich] made the search for the right clothing a higher kind of quest—one for dignity, standards and self-knowledge.” —The New York Times

“Before there were Bergdorf Blondes, there was Betty Halbreich, the industry’s most famous personal shopper . . . who became something of a New York institution. Stylish and savvy.” —Vogue

“Tart, funny.” —Entertainment Weekly

“Charming . . . An inspirational feminist tale.” —People

“There’s a pragmatic principle behind the way Betty dresses people. It’s very inclusive. There’s room for everyone in her process. [Betty] is able to be in the fashion world, but also take it down a peg at the same time.” —Lena Dunham

“Betty was born to sail through people’s lives telling them what to wear (and even what to do).” —Isaac Mizrahi

“[Betty] sizes up her own life fearlessly, and in the process, not only helps you to diagnose your own flaws, but to embrace your own beauty.” —Judith Thurman, National Book Award- and Los Angeles Times Book Award-winning author

“She's the go-to celebrity. She's also the most fun.” —Patricia Field, costume designer for Sex & the City
