The Fashioned Body provides a wide-ranging and original
overview of fashion and dress from an historical and sociological
perspective. Where once fashion was seen as marginal, it has now
entered into core economic discourse focused around ideas about
'cultural' and 'creative' work as a major driver of developed
economies.  This third edition of The Fashioned Body,
the most comprehensive revision to date, revisits the classic works
on fashion, dress and the body, and introduces contemporary issues
and debates in the area. With new sections and revisions to all
chapters, the major updates pick up on recent debates on fashion
from the perspective of decolonising the curriculum, diversity,
queer studies, sustainability, the environment, and digital
fashion. A newly expanded bibliography of contemporary studies of
fashion and dress is also included. The book continues to show how
an understanding of fashion and dress requires analysing the
meanings and practices of the dressed body in culture. Moreover,
its central premise – that fashion is a 'situated practice'
articulated through everyday dressed bodies – has become
established orthodoxy within fashion studies since publication of
the first edition in 2000. Â Remaining a seminal text in the
field, this book will be essential reading for anyone interested in
the social role of fashion and dress in modern culture.
