Treasured Island

"Hack(s) through the hype and half-truths . . . . A work of impressive reporting . . . . Mr. Gross tells an engaging story." -- Cathy Horan, New York Times "Shamelessly dishy . . . delightfully attuned to irony, and Lauren''s life story is full of it." -- Washington Post "[A] sympathetic portrait . . . Gross does a fine job of revealing how the illusion of heritage and luxury, cultivated through lavish runway shows and advertising campaigns, sustains what is essentially a licensing business." -- Booth Moore, The Los Angeles Times "Sprawling . . . energetic . . . Gross has obviously thought deeply about the machinations and meaning of the modeling business." -- People "Page-turning expose." -- Vogue
