See quotes from selected reviews:
You might just wonder how Baz Luhrmann and Catherine Martin managed the feat of creating their globally marketable brand BAZMARK with just five films. An answer can be found by reading Friends, Fashion and Fabulousness: The Making of an Australian Style, by the cultural historian Sally Gray. In it she constructs a remarkable narrative of the processes by which a unique Australian exotic style was created in Sydney in the 1970s, the 1980s and the early 1990s.

Friends, Fashion and Fabulousness appears to be pink and slight and frivolous … But its weight is real and metaphoric - it has grace and gravitas. There is the scholarly seriousness, the rigour of the account itself, and Gray’s capacity to incorporate theory, for those who enjoy it, without deadening the text.
