Fashion in American Life

Beschreibung

"An original contribution to fashion studies, Fashion in American Life challenges existing approaches to fashion in America by considering who 'makes' fashion-when, where, and how. Race, gender, ethnicity, and class are employed as critical lenses to shed new light on how fashion might be defined and addressed within America, rather than the myth of fashion designers, and New York, as the originators of American Fashion. This exploration of the everyday allows us to see American fashion as a form of agency, self-identification, creative engagement, and politics, making a unique contribution to fashion studies, fashion history, cultural studies, and beyond"--
