Reviews
[Praise for the first edition] Brings a breath of fresh air to fashion theory. This book puts together a collection of insights and approaches that will facilitate the student's creative thinking process and their capacity to develop keys to solve problems. -- Maria Sargaco, Senior Lecturer & Course Leader in BA (Hons) Fashion Promotion and Communication
Fantastic resource for fashion theory! -- Irene Grasser, Design Academy of Fashion, South Africa
Introducing Fashion Theory: From Androgyny to Zeitgeist illustrates the scholarly study of fashion in addition to helping students and fashion professionals understand the complexity, meaning, and direction of fashion. Using historic, cultural, and current fashion examples, the book helps explain our everyday clothing habits and the paradoxical nature of fashion * Nancy J. Rabolt, San Francisco State University, USA *
