"When Clothes Become Fashion systematically analyzes the phenomenon of fashion and reveals part of the secret on which fashion depends. Ideal for students, the book also offers fascinating insights for the general reader." Barbara Vinken, University of Munich This is a book that I probably will read more than once because it is so dense with analysis. Although the book is dense with fashion theory and rigourous analysis, it is accessible to a general reader. But for artists whose work references clothing, the body, or fashion, this book is well worth the investment in time because it offers a thoughtful analysis of contemporary fashion designers and artists whose work exists on the boundary between fashion and art.
