“Wake up, Muffy. We’re back.” From Lisa Birnbach, the author of The Official Preppy
Handbook—and designer Chip Kidd—comes a whole new take on
the prep world that Birnbach turned into an international
best-selling phenomenon thirty years ago. True Prep is a contemporary look at how the old guard of
natural-fiber-loving, dog-worshipping, G&T-soaked preppies
adapt to the new order of things. Birnbach considers the
prep attitude towards money (ambivalent), schools (good
investment), wardrobe (now your clothes fit), work (some
careers will never be prep), decorating (ask mummy), scandal
(including rehab and prison), and food and drink (with some
classic recipes for both). She also looks at weekends (and
what to do to get asked back), entertaining, sports
(including sailing and shopping), weddings, etiquette, the
Internet and electronic gadgetry, political correctness,
reality TV, and . . . polar fleece. And last but not least:
a do-it-yourself eulogy. With more than 200 original illustrations and photographs,
True Prep promises to be a whole new, old sensation.
