When we open our closet doors each morning, we seldom consider what
our sartorial choices say, whether we tend toward jeans and a
well-worn concert t-shirt or wingtips and a three-piece suit. Yet,
how we dress divulges more than whether we crave comfort or
couture; our clothing communicates who we are and how we relate to
our culture. But how does a Balenciaga bag or a tough leather
jacket topped by liberty spikes signify these things?
Fashion in Popular Culture considers this question. Combining
fashion theory with approaches from literature, art, advertising,
music, media studies, material studies, and sociology, contributors
from across Europe, Australia, and the United States consider the
function of fashion within popular culture. Fashion, they show, has
the capacity to both influence and be influenced by popular
culture, and its meaning is also contingent upon context. Chapters
in the book cover both historical and contemporary concerns,
addressing a variety of other questions, including the role fashion
plays in subcultures.
For students and scholars of fashion and popular culture--or anyone
fascinated by what clothing can convey--"Fashion in Popular
Culture" offers an engaging, interdisciplinary analysis.
