Editorial Reviews Book Description

In this sumptuous new book, Cathy Newman provides a fresh perspective on a fascinating subject. Fashion explores clothing and adornment from a uniquely global perspective, at a time when current fashion is fusing diverse cultural styles as never before.

Lively and provocative essays, drawn from interviews with prominent fashion industry insiders-including contemporary designers, fashion editors, and curators-give new insights into the role fashion has played in history, while Newman's essays focus on the body adorned, from hair to garb accessories. The book's introductory essays are written by cultural anthropologist Joanne Eicher and fashion historian Valerie Mendes. Combining illuminating text with exquisite archival and contemporary images, Fashion is not only an essential reference tool but also a gorgeously designed volume that will stand out in both the art and photography markets. This remarkable book offers a thorough and tantalizing look at the ways in which fashion shapes us and the world in which we live.
