Changing trends in fashion have always reflected large-scale social and cultural changes. Changing Fashion presents for the first time a multi-disciplinary approach to examining fashion change; bringing together theory from fashion studies; cultural studies; sociology; psychology and art history; amongst others.Ideal for the undergraduate student of fashion and cultural studies; the book has a wide range of contemporary and historical case material which provides practical examples of trend analysis and change; from the art deco textile designs of Sonia Delaunay to the chameleonic shifts in Bob Dylans appearance over time. Key issues in fashion and identity; such as race; gender and consumption are examined from different disciplinary angles to provide a critical overview of the field. Changing Fashion provides a concise guide to the main theories across disciplines that explain how and why media; clothing styles; and cultural practices fall in and out of fashion.
