Philosophical Perspectives on Fashion places philosophical
approaches at the heart of contemporary fashion studies.
Considering the mutual relationships between aesthetics, modern
society and culture, fashion and the fine arts, and the way these
relationships have influenced and shaped our views on identity and
taste, this ground-breaking book also explores the various
intellectual and cultural movements that inform how people dress.
In the context of the most recent debates, the leading fashion and
philosophy scholars contributing to this volume refer to and apply
theories posed by key thinkers of the modern and contemporary age,
from Darwin and Wittgenstein to Husserl and Goodman, in order to
answer questions such as: what is the essence of fashion and the
reasons behind its fascination? What is ‘anti-fashion’? What or
who do we imitate when we ‘follow’ fashion? What is fashion
criticism and what should it be? Anyone studying or interested in
fashion, philosophy or art will find this book a rich source of
ideas, insight and information. Philosophical Perspectives on
Fashion is a valuable contribution to contemporary fashion theory
and aesthetics, one that revitalizes the way we look at the form,
purpose and meaning of fashion and aesthetic experience.
