Product Description

Review
"Evans grapples with extremely interesting issues, such as why fashion imagery has become so dark and decadent. Her choice of contemporary fashion imagery - and her juxtaposition of these images with similar themes in art - is brilliant." Valerie Steele, Director of The Museum at the Fashion Institute of Technology, New York

Gemma Hayward, Independent Magazine, 22 November 2003
‘sensational viewing. Well worth the space on your bookshelf’

5.0 out of 5 stars Rumbustious!, 14 Dec 2007
Buttoned up against the Great Pretender this text evinces a perfectly loitering cadence as if the socks of its author had been imprinted with the days of the week on which they were to be worn. Nor does the Lacanian rainbow concealed in the slanted ticket-pocket of this stingingly tailored paperback sit easily with a shuffling middlebrow readership. Away with them! Indeed, one is driven to wonder whether the ruffs and cuffs of such a ragmuffin parade as one sees any day in the Charing Cross Road can be construed as a kind of St Martin's doollally, an achingly rumbustious "garment" semiologically fusing (in a kind of pubic perambula) Julia Kristeva's famously lilac and conspicuously deviant nether garments with the abject "underpants" of Humbert Humbert. In the ensuing debate one fact emerges clearly. It is the Name of the Father. And so, perhaps, does Agent Provocateur meet CK in the ante rooms of Celine's howling impostures!
