A stunning compilation of 200 photographs accompanied by essays on culture and style for the fashion-conscious everywhere to enjoy. Sumptuously illustrated and extravagantly produced, 'Fashion' is a tribute to what we wear and why we wear it.
While current fashion is fusing diverse cultural styles, National Geographic author Cathy Newman provides a fascinating global perspective on the historical and cultural significance of clothing and adornment. This timely - and timeless - subject is explored in evocative essays and lavish illustrations that offer a fresh perspective for today's style-obsessed culture.
Featuring lively, anecdotal interviews from contemporary designers, fashion editors, historians, and cultural anthropologists, the book offers a dynamic approach to this sumptuous topic from industry insiders. Newman, focusing on the body adorned, infuses her narrative with a sense of appreciation for the decadence and innovation that surrounds the notion of style.
Intelligent, tantalising, and extravagant, 'Fashion' is a unique compilation of spectacular images, clothes, designs, and writing.
