Looking historically for the imprint of fashion within everyday routines such as going to work or shopping, or in leisure activities like dancing, the book identifies the ‘fashion system of the ordinary’, in which clothing has a distinct role in the making of self and identity.   Exploring the period from 1890 to 2010, the study is located in London and New York, cities that emerged as as socially, ethnically and culturally diverse, as well as increasingly fashionable. The book re-focuses fashion discourse away from well-trodden, power-laden dynamics, towards a re-evaluation of time, memory, and above all history, and their relationship to fashion and everyday life. The importance of place and space - and issues of gender, race and social class - provides the broader framework, revealing fashion as both routine and exceptional, and as an increasingly significant part of urban life.   By focusing on key themes such as clothing the city, what is worn on the streets, the imagining and performing of multiple identities by dressing up and down, going out, and showing off, Fashion and Everyday Life makes a unique contribution to the literature of fashion studies, fashion history, cultural studies, and beyond.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50105226690833,"sku":"GOR009607552","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50454366978321,"sku":"CIN1847888267VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53059070001425,"sku":"NLS9781847888266","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1847888267.jpg?v=1750930560"},{"product_id":"fashion-in-american-life-book-hazel-clark-9781350331921","title":"Fashion in American Life","description":"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. Avoiding the usual emphasis on the ‘history of fashion’ which perpetuates 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.  Moving away from the well-trodden accounts of fashion designers and the dominance of New York, much of the fashion uncovered has been under-represented in previous accounts. Through contemporary and historical research, authors challenge the nature of both ‘fashion’ and ‘America’ by addressing the many complexities of a nation whose people have diverse histories and cultures, including stories and experiences that have been forgotten, marginalized and left out of the fashion ‘canon’.  Race, gender, ethnicity, and class are employed as critical lenses to shed new light on how fashion might be defined and addressed within America (as a country, but not as a series of United States), with case studies looking at First Nations, Latinx and African American dress. The intellectual framing of the volume, and the methods and case studies included, also present tactics that can be applied to other contexts, making this book about revisiting ‘fashion’ more widely, not just in America. Fashion in American Life makes a unique contribution to the literature of fashion studies, fashion history, cultural studies, and beyond.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51023474262289,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51023474721041,"sku":"NIN9781350331921","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1350331929.jpg?v=1751369402"},{"product_id":"slow-book-hazel-clark-9781350253391","title":"Slow","description":"What if we took 'slow' as an ethical strategy and practice for fashion, rather than considering ‘slow fashion’ as another passing fashion movement? Part of the Fashion in Action series of short books on global issues in fashion, calling on readers to become active participants in its future, Hazel Clark explores fashion's cultural role as a potential force for, not against, sustainability. Against a backdrop of massive waste, intensive energy use, human exploitation and over-consumption of fast fashion, Slow offers a thoughtful, practical, sustainable approach to fashion for businesses, educators and ordinary wearers of clothes, speaking to more mindful, caring and humanitarian attitudes and practices.  Divided into 3 sections, the argument is framed by neoliberalism, and the increased attention to fashion around the globe, set alongside growing interest in eco design, the slow food movement, second hand clothes and the emergence of ethical brands. The book begins with ‘where we are now,’ focussing on the emergence and huge impact of fast fashion. The next section looks at the way a slow discourse developed for fashion – in practice, in academia and in public. More mindful and slow approaches are set against greater global connectivity, digital communications, climate change and activism. This leads to a third and final section which seeks for a redefinition of fashion through the lens of slow approaches, ending with an urgent call to action.   With references to good fashion practices and ideas from around the globe throughout, this book offers real guidance, and, crucially, advocates that real engagement with a 'slow' approach to fashion offers a more sustainable future for all.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":52100896325905,"sku":"NGR9781350253391","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781350253391.jpg?v=1765448185"},{"product_id":"design-studies-book-hazel-clark-9781847882370","title":"Design Studies","description":"Design Studies: A Reader is the ideal entry point for any student who wants to understand the many complex roles of design - as process, product, function, symbol, and use.
