Fashion at the Edge by Caroline Evans
Examining work by John Galliano, Alexander McQueen, Hussein Chalayan, and others, this book explores what their disturbing themes tell us about consumer culture and contemporary anxieties.
"'Evans grapples with extremely interesting issues, such as why fashion imagery has become so dark and decadentHer choice of contemporary fashion imagery - and her juxtaposition of these images with similar themes in art - is brilliant.' Valerie Steele, Director of The Museum at the Fashion Institute of Technology 'A compelling line of reasoning here, not to mention some incredibly knockout pictures.' Susan Corrigan, I-D Magazine 'Sensational.' Gemma Hayward, Independent Magazine '... very high production standards... the selection of plates makes up a valuable record and distillation of an end of the century movement.' Robert Radford, The Art Book"
