4 of 5 people found the following review helpful. great literature review on philosophies of fashion; no original theory to replace those he takes apartBy Heath SledgeAs Svendson himself might say. he has a negative philosophy (what is wrong with everyone elses theories) but no positive theory to put forward. (In other words. this is a supplement to well-worked-through internally-consistent original philosophies of fashion. not a replacement.)That said. it is a GREAT primer/overview of the literature.0 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Awesome quality!By Angelica ZerrLooks and feels brand new! No sign of wear!14 of 15 people found the following review helpful. amazingBy the idealistat first this may seem like a difficult read. but if you can get past the scholarly. philosophical approach (as i did) you may discover the truth about clothes. fashion. consumerism. culture. and art... wow. mine-expanding! i had to look up words in the dictionary to keep up with the authors line of thought (he is a swedish philosophy professor). i sometimes read and re-read sentences. bottom line-covers all aspects of the whys and hows of humans wearing clothing. deep. thought-provoking.and worth the price-hey i paid full price $24.95!
