Fashion as Communication (Paperback)

This interdisciplinary work clearly analyses how fashion and clothing have been understood as modern and post modern phenomena. Drawing on the theoretical approaches to culture, in particular those of Simmel, Derrida, Baudrillard and Jameson, the author assesses the consequences of post modernism for fashion as a mode of communication. Concepts such as class, gender, reproduction and resistance are explored in a clear and concise manner and further reading on each subject is detailed.
