Description
Fashion is a new series of short books from Tate Publishing that invites us to re-examine our relationship with art and everyday life. How we dress can be a deeply personal matter, but what if it also holds the key to understanding the societies in which we live? Esteemed academic and broadcaster Shahidha Bari guides us through the surprising insights that come from exploring the world of fashion.
From the intricate details of a footman's turban to the flowing fabrics of a seamstress's garment, Fashion reveals the hidden stories behind some of Britain's most iconic artworks. By examining the everyday dress featured in the national collection, Bari uncovers the connections between art and culture, politics and society.
This book is part of Tate Publishing's Look Again series, which sheds new light on British art over the last 500 years. Join Shahidha Bari as she explores the fascinating world of fashion and its place in our lives today.
