This book examines fashion from the role of the supermodel in the beauty business to the significance of cosmetics, perfumes and male fashions. Clearly written and accessible it argues that it is wrong to see fashion as the expression of haute couture. Instead what is judged to be fahionable emerges from a number of different sources in society. It will be required reading for students of culture and society.Craik, Jennifer is the author of 'Face of Fashion Cultural Studies in Fashion' with ISBN 9780415052627 and ISBN 0415052629.
