Description
Fashion and Cultural Studies explores how fashion intersects with various aspects of culture, including race, ethnicity, class, gender, and identity. This accessible text considers both cultural studies and fashion studies perspectives to examine the complex relationships between fashion and society.
The authors use cross-cultural case studies to investigate how different identities are produced through embodied fashion, drawing on intersectionality in feminist theory and cultural studies. The revised edition includes updated case studies and two new chapters that delve into the relationship between style, faith, and spirituality, as well as a critique of traditional notions of beauty.
Through its examination of production, regulation, distribution, consumption, and subject formation within and through fashion, Fashion and Cultural Studies offers insights into the ways in which fashion reflects and shapes cultural attitudes. This book is an important resource for students and scholars seeking to understand the complex dynamics of fashion and culture.
