Fashioning Spain is a cultural history of Spanish fashion in the
20th and 21st centuries, a period of significant social, political,
and economic upheaval. As Spain moved from dictatorship to
democracy and, most recently, to the digital age, fashion has
experienced seismic shifts. The chapters in this collection reveal
how women empowered themselves through fashion choices, detail
Balenciaga's international stardom, present female photographers
challenging gender roles under Franco's rule, and uncover the
politicization of the mantilla. In the visual culture of Spanish
fashion, tradition and modernity coexist and compete, reflecting
society's changing affects. Using a range of case studies and
approaches, this collection explores fashion in films, comics from
la Movida, Rosalia's music videos, and both brick-and-mortar and
virtual museums. It demonstrates that fashion is ripe with
historical meaning, and offers unique insights into the many facets
of Spanish cultural life.
Every year, nearly 80 million Americans will consult their doctors
about their skin. In fact, skin disorders beat out anxiety,
depression, back pain, and diabetes as the number one reason
Americans see their doctors. Unfortunately, however, the vast
majority will receive only a surface-level treatment, leaving the
underlying conditions at the root of their skin issues unresolved.
Skin doesn't lie; it reflects overall health in unimaginable ways.
Dirty Looks, internationally renowned dermatologist and scientist
Dr. Whitney Bowe shows readers that skin health is much more than
skin deep. As a pioneering researcher on the cutting edge of the
gut-brain-skin axis, she explains how the spectrum of skin
disorders -- from stubborn acne and rosacea to psoriasis, eczema,
and premature wrinkling -- are manifestations of irregularities
rooted in the gut. Lasers, scalpels, creams, and prescription pads
alone will not guarantee the consistently healthy, glowing skin we
all seek. Instead, Dr. Bowe focuses on the microbiome -- where
trillions of microbes "speak" to your skin via the brain -- and
highlights the connection between sleep, stress, diet,
gastrointestinal health, and the health of your skin. With simple
explanations of the science, do-it-yourself practical skincare
strategies, and a life-changing 3-week program, Dirty Looks is your
roadmap to great skin from the inside out and the outside in.
