Women in Trousers: A Rear View

Brand New Hardback by Demetri Marchessini 2003

 

This is a jaw-droppingly ridiculous book. 

It was written and published by the now-deceased millionaire UKIP donor, Demetri Marchessini.

At the launch of the book, his ex-wife Lucinda said: “He is deeply sexist.”

 

It’s currently on sale on Amazon [see screenshot] for a ludicrous £898.

You can own this piece of publishing history for a more reasonable price.

It’s sold out everywhere else.

 

Book Review quote:

“The book consists of arty black-and-white shots of women looking awful in tight trousers - page after page of nasty Crimplene slacks, perilous Capri pants and leggings with an inbuilt VPL. The photos are accompanied by bitchy sartorial quotes from people like Dorothy Parker and Ogden Nash, as well as Marchessini's own less original fashion musings ('another fatty relentlessly insists on wearing trousers').”

In an interview plugging the book, he was asked if was pleased at the rise of curvy stars like Jennifer Lopez. 

Mr Marchessini told The Guardian: “She looks like a Mexican tart”
