Today is the day.
Filterless talent Whitney Marston Pierce officially releases her debut book, Pretend to Be Fancy: A Field Guide to Style and Sophistication, out now via Chronicle Books.
Equal parts cheeky and genuinely useful, the book is a guide to curating a stylish, cultured, and fabulous existence on any budget and already has Publishers Weekly calling it a funny, self-aware update on the etiquette canon. THE MARSTON AGENCY
Whitney is the founder and lead designer of Marston Studio in Tribeca and built an international career in music as DJ Whitney Fierce, performing with New Order and as a former member of Hercules and Love Affair, with sets at high-fashion events for brands like Dior and Vogue. She brings all of that lived experience into a book that feels less like a rulebook and more like a conversation with the most interesting person at the party.
Inside: how to host, what to drink, how to dress, how to actually pronounce what you're serving, and how to make every corner of your home look like something out of a high-end magazine without pretending you have money you don't.
The premise is simple and the execution is sharp: most of what goes into being fancy is how you carry yourself and how you treat others. Whitney has been living that thesis for years. Now it's a book.
Pick it up. Give it to someone you love. Give it to someone you want to impress.
