Quatrième de couverture

Fashion is not a new concept. It responds to multiple needs: to cover up, to embellish, but also - and perhaps most importantly - to position ourselves in society. It is an expression of our freedom!

Designed as an accessible introduction, this lively guide offers a sociological, practical, and historical overview of fashion, retracing its crucial dates, principal players, and noteworthy events. The author offers the tools and vocabulary necessary to appreciate contemporary styles, and to better understand how to create your own look. She connects the dots between this form of creativity - one of the most popular in the modern world - and its links with fields such as music, film, media, and new technologies.
