Fashion - Philosophy for Everyone by Jessica Wolfendale
Most of us realize that fashion is more than just clothes. Fashion influences our judgments of people s taste, politics, sexuality, class, religion, and even their moral character. It can be a medium for technological and social change changes in fashion may signal economic and political shifts.“Summing Up: RecommendedLower-division undergraduates through graduate students; general readers. (Choice, 1 August 2012)
"All in all, this is a valuable text not just because of the marriage of the academic with the everyday, but because of the diverse issues that it touches on. It's a well-rounded effort and even the most jaded fashion person will find something new between its covers." (The Licentiate, 26 September 2011)
