Fashion has always been strongly linked with the politics of gender
and equality. In this global and interdisciplinary collection,
leading authors explore the relationships between the dressed body,
fashion, sex, and power, with an emphasis on the role of dress in
both reinforcing and challenging social norms. Covering a range of
geographic and social contexts, the book explores the role of
fashion in empowering both individuals and groups to create
transformation and change. Taking us from the performance of black
dandyism through stylized hats, to the use of challenging dance
forms and male-inspired dress by female South African dancers to
express independence and equality, to ways in which recent Bond
Girls have challenged traditional gender binaries, the book
provides a crucial entry point into discussions of fashion as an
empowerment strategy. Fashion, Agency, and Empowerment encourages
the reader to critically examine the cultural and social impact of
sexual objectification, as well as to consider personal and shared
narratives of self-objectification and repression. With chapters
ranging from the iconic self-fashioning of Princess Diana to a
discussion of sex, power, and cultural constructions of
masculinity, Fashion, Agency, and Empowerment provides crucial
insights into global fashion, political structures, and social
life.
