Fashion statements

Sinopse

This book presents an eclectic array of essays regarding the meanings of fashion to articulate the new directions of an everyday cultural phenomenon. Contributors bring insightful, playful, and accessible takes on a subject that, though very much part of popular discourse, often gets little significant attention from theoretical perspectives. Looking at fashion through the prism of race, class, gender, and technological issues, this book reflects and interprets the hybridity of contemporary cultural inquiry.
