Product Description
Review
"This book extends the important work Angela McRobbie has done over the past decades in studying young women's subcultures and popular women's magazines to help feminize British cultural studies. The book is instructive not only about the struggles of young women to become 'new cultural workers' under the Thatcherite regime of enterprise culture, but also about the relative strengths and weaknesses of a type of social analysis whose growing popularity poses a challenge to disciplinary sociology."

The seeds for this study were first sown in 1989, at the end of the so-called 'designer decade' when a collection of articles, many of which had appeared throughout that decade in the political magazine Marxism Today, were published in a volume entitled New Times: The Changing Face of Politics in the 1990s, edited by Stuart Hall and Martin Jacques (Hall and Jacques 1989).

Hard Working
14 April 2000
Format:Paperback
I never realised that entering fashion industry takes so much hard working, it's not as romantic as I imagined. Excellent book because author interviewed many young designers who works in this field, I enjoy it very much.
