This book critically examines recent theories of fashion which
have sought to legitimize its pleasures and defend it as an avenue
for self-expression. Through a series of essays which address
different aspects of fashion in postmodern culture including the
wearing of makeup, cosmetic surgery, tattoos, the role of ornament
in dress and the blurring of gender boundaries, it is argued that
the greatest concern today lies not in the failure to acknowledge
the pleasures of fashion, but, on the contrary, in the tendency to
elevate it to a dominant position in everyday life where the
cultivation of one's physical appearance supplants all other
sources of identity formation.
