When "Adorned in Dreams" was first published in 1985, Angela Carter
described the book as 'the best I have read on the subject, bar
none'. Elizabeth Wilson traces the social and cultural history of
fashion and its complex relationship to modernity. Wilson delights
in the power of fashion to mark out identity or to subvert it and
this brand new edition of her book follows recent developments to
bring the story of fashionable dress up to date, exploring the
grunge look inspired by bands like Nirvana, the 'boho chic' of the
mid 90's, retro-dressing and the meanings of dress from the veil to
Beck's pink-varnished toenails.
