From its beginnings in the fifteenth century, intensified
interest in fashion and the study of fashion over the last thirty
years has led to a vast and varied literature on the subject.
This collection of essays surveys and contextualizes the ways in
which a wide range of disciplines have used a variety of
theoretical approaches to explain, and sometimes to explain away,
the astonishing variety, complexity and beauty of fashion. Themes
covered include individual, social and gender identity, the erotic,
consumption and communication.
By collecting together some of the most influential and
important writers on fashion and exposing the ideas and theories
behind what they say, this unique collection of extracts and essays
brings to light the presuppositions involved in the things we think
and say about fashion.
