  • Attribution

    Diana Crane

  • Publication Details

    Book, University of Chicago Press, 2000

  • Description

    Crane compares nineteenth-century societies?France and the United States?where social class was the most salient aspect of social identity signified in clothing with late twentieth-century America, where lifestyle, gender, sexual orientation, age, and ethnicity are more meaningful to individuals in constructing their wardrobes. Today, clothes worn at work signify social class, but leisure clothes convey meanings ranging from trite to political. An absorbing work, Fashion and Its Social Agendas stands out as a critical study of gender, fashion, and consumer culture. (automatically summarized from Amazon.com)
