Fashion and Modernity
If fashion is an expression of individuality, why do we all dress alike? Answering these intriguing questions and many more, this pioneering book shows how the concepts of fashion and modernity are intimately linked. Can modernity be described as the experience of 'feeling modern' and, if so, what part does fashion play?
Technology, the body, nationality and gender are informed and shaped by modernity, and vice versa. It argues that capitalism and identity construction as social processes both have symbiotic relationships with the fashion system. Drawing on key modernist texts as well as fashion theory and practice, this book seeks broadly to cover the history of fashion and modernity, a topic that has been surprisingly overlooked.
Tackling themes including court masques in seventeenth-century London, Paris couturiers and forensic laboratories in twentieth-century Washington, the authors show how fashion throughout history has been a cornerstone in the construction of a modern self.
