The interrelationship between fashion and celebrity is now a
salient and pervasive feature of the media world. This accessible
text presents the first in-depth study of the phenomenon, assessing
the degree to which celebrity culture has reshaped the fashion
system.
"Fashion and Celebrity Culture" critically examines the history
of this relationship from its growth in the nineteenth century to
its mutation during the twentieth century to the dramatic changes
that have transpired in the last two decades. It addresses the
fashion-celebrity nexus as it plays itself out across mainstream
cinema, television and music and in the celebrity status of a range
of designers, models and artists. It explores the strategies that
have enabled visual culture to recast itself in the new climate of
celebrity obsession, popular culture and the art world to respond
adaptively to its insistent pressures.
With its engaging analysis and case studies from Lillian Gish to
Louis Vuitton to Lady Gaga, "Fashion and Celebrity Culture" is of
major interest to students of fashion, media studies, film,
television studies and popular culture, and anyone with an interest
in this global phenomenon.
