Fashion by Jennifer Craik
Fashion is everywhere. It is one of the main ways in which we present ourselves to others, signaling what we want to communicate about our sexuality, wealth, professionalism, subcultural and political allegiances, social status, even our mood. This title presents an introduction to the complex world of fashion.
'Craik's refreshing approach and lucid analysis of the complexities of dress and fashion theory provides essential readingThe author tackles many of those all too familiar dilemmas and questions about fashion's cultural significance with bravado. A panoramic and ambitious study of dress, in all its wider meanings and manifestations.'Claire Wilcox, Senior Curator, Department of Furniture, Textiles & Fashion, V&A
