This book turned out to be quite the page turner as I glimpsed into the busy world of ex-supermodel Alison Houtte, owner of Brooklyn's Hooti Couture vintage clothing shop. She took me on a journey of a young love for vintage goods, go-sees and customers at her shop, which was never boring. It was one of those books that left me satisfied yet sad that it was over once I finished reading my last page. A great read for anyone curious about the life of a supermodel, anyone with a love and passion for fashion and vintage clothing or, like myself, anyone who loves little boutiques that tell stories about the articles of clothing hanging on the sales racks.
