Shortlisted for the Association of Dress Historians Book of the
Year Award, 2021 "Beautifully written, entirely accessible,
poignant and profound" - Amy de la Haye In a culture preoccupied
with newness and a fashion system largely predicated upon it, what
is the significance of worn clothes and why do they have the power
to affect us so deeply? How are relationships to clothing produced
and maintained through the embodied practices of wearing,
maintenance and repair? Through a focus upon a single garment, the
shoe, this book calls on readers to reconsider the value of the
marks of wear at a time when fast fashion reigns supreme and
interest in damaged, or worn, garments quietly increases. Bringing
together anthropological and psychoanalytic theory with practices
of handmaking, wearing, and photography, this book asks what is the
embodied experience of wearing and the affect of the worn?
Beautifully illustrated in full color throughout, Worn is the first
book to focus exclusively on the significance of imperfect garments
as important aspects of our material world and culture.
