Description
The Fashion Reader offers insight into the critical theories and conversations surrounding the international fashion industry. This collection of 76 influential articles brings together new and established concepts to provide a solid grounding in the history, business, and culture of fashion.
Fourteen chapters were written specifically for this edition, while others are drawn from books, journals, magazines, and exhibition catalogues. The book is divided into fifteen parts, each with an introduction from the editors, guiding you through the interdisciplinary world of fashion studies. Suggestions for further reading are also provided at the end of each part.
This third edition has been substantially revised to highlight issues such as sustainability, identity, and global perspectives, including topics like "The Commodification of Ethnicity" and "The Cultural Heritage of Tattooing".
