Product Description

Review

"Entwistle has written a comprehensive and clear account, commenting upon a vast literature and clarifying what would otherwise be a bewildering range of theoretical and analytical perspectives. She tends to eschew single or universal explanations. Instead by emphasizing the relationship to the body, the study of fashion as practice and the need to bring back together research on production and consumption, the result is a materialist approach in the best sense of that term. An ideal resource for teaching."

Daniel Miller, University College, London


"The Fashioned Body by Joanne Entwistle is an important acquisition for historians or students of fashion because the author rejects all overarching or reductive theories and, instead, examines fashion as something that is both produced and consumed. Traditionally, writers in this field tend to examine the garment business or how clothes are selected and operate as signifiers of identity. Entwistle believes that there is no need to separate these two approaches, and she illustrates successfully how fashion is the result of a complex range of practices."

Format:Paperback
Recommended by course tutor at the time, very informative book about fashion shapes. No longer use it as much. Very good as a study guide for essays and so on.

Arrived in good condition. Thank you.

Fashion like a serious theoretical issue. 7 May 2007
By William Cruz Bermeo - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Entwistle's approach is one of the most serious works about fashion and body role in fashion. She join together many criticims and thinkers of the system of fashion. It's not a simple history about changes and costumes throughout the Western World, since she breaks traditional stories about theories of trickle down, zeitgeist, and shifting erogenous zone, and drawns on Foucault, Kunzle, Veblen, Simmel , Wilson or Steele, among others, to explain a number of theoretical approaches about this topic. I recommended it for studies on material culture and fashion history. Available in spanish, titled "El Cuerpo y la Moda".
