Clothes take the ordinary human body and fashion it into something
remarkable. Born to the same anatomical legacy, each generation has
used garments to shape itself in the image of its own particular
desires.
Taking different body parts in turn, The Anatomy of Fashion invites
us to view ourselves as we have been in the past. Arguing that
analysis needs to aspire to the proliferation and playfulness of
fashion itself, the chapters both explore a different aesthetic and
examine its wider, and often surprising, implications. In countless
different ways, fashion is caught up in the larger picture of its
chronological moment. Whether in the mechanisms of production, the
politics of consumption, the construction of sexuality or gender,
or the formation and reformation of manners and morals, fashion is
there.
In its provocative conclusion The Anatomy of Fashion turns its
attention to dress practices today. Reassembling the anatomical
parts, the text places the contemporary body in the historical view
and reveals the strangeness that lies at the heart of our own
normality.
