I have read the book before,but can u post a passage of her talking about fashion?

Mercury · Answer

keywords: "recounts several events in her life" "in a short work"

using process of elimination:

memoir ---> memoirs are typically longer works
literary speech ---> not a speech
autobiography ---> doesn't work either. autobiographies are *long* works that cover a person's entire life rather than focusing on specific events

therefore, personal essay is the only logical choice
