Sexing La Mode by Jennifer Jones
Examining the changing nature of French fashion culture in the 18th century, this book explores the relationship between women and commercial culture. The author looks at gender responses to fashion during the period and how clothing was becoming increasingly conceptualised as feminine or effeminate.
'The recent release of Sofia Coppola's 'Marie Antoinette', with its lavish and detailed depiction of eighteenth-century court dress, suggests an enduring interest in the topic of fashionAs someone with a deep personal interest in 'La Mode', I was enormously pleased to be assigned the task of reviewing Jennifer M. Jones's book on fashion, gender and shopping under the Old Regime, especially since it is well-written and engaging.'Christine Adams, H-France Review
