Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How did you decide what to wear today? Did you base your selection on comfort or style? Did you want to blend in or stand out - or was it just the cleanest outfit available? We each make these decisions every day, reflecting how we view ourselves and impacting how others see us. Our choices matter - not just to us personally, but also to the magazine editors, brand ambassadors and trend forecasters who make a living by selling to us. Communicating Fashion introduces key concepts from the intersecting worlds of fashion and communication studies to connect how we all use clothing to express ourselves and how media systems support that process. In doing so, Myles Ethan Lascity explores social, cultural and ethical issues through the work of fashion journalism, brand promotions and the growing role of online influencers as well as the impact of film, television and art on self-image and expression. Key topics: - Advertising, Branding and Fashion Retail - Clothing, Art and Cultural Significance - Clothing as Group and Cultural Norms - Clothing, Identity and Interpersonal Communication - Fashion News and Tastemaking - Fashion, Social Media and Influencers - Meaning within the Fashion System - On-screen Clothing

Download or read book Fashioning Memory written by Heike Jenss and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2015-10-22 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The valuing of old clothes as “vintage” and the recollection of the sartorial past, whether through second-hand consumption or the wearing of new old-fashioned clothes, has become a widespread phenomenon. This book illuminates sartorial and bodily engagements with memory and time through the temporal and nostalgic potency of fashion, and what this means for contemporary wearers. Based on in-depth ethnographic research including participant observation and interviews with sixties enthusiasts in Germany, who relocate British mod style into the twenty-first century, Jenss examines the practices and experiences that are part of the sartorial remembering of “the sixties,” from hunting flea markets and eBay, to the affect of material and mediated memories on vintage wearers. Jenss offers unique insights into the fashioning of time, cultural memory, and modernity, tracing the history and current appeal of vintage in fashion and youth culture, and asking: what kind of experiences of temporality and memory are enacted through fashion? How have evaluations of second-hand clothes shifted in the twentieth century? Fashioning Memory provides a unique insight into the diverse use of fashion as a memory mode and asks how style is remembered, performed, transformed, and reinvested across time, place, and generation.

Download or read book Fashion Photography written by Eugénie Shinkle and published by Bloomsbury Visual Arts. This book was released on 2018-09-06 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fashion Photography shows how the meaning of fashion images can depend upon how we feel about them. Feelings, of course, are difficult to analyse or decode – yet fashion photography trades on intangibles like mood, atmosphere and attitude, and qualities such as colour, touch, and bodily empathy. Such 'affective' attributes, which lie at the heart of all fashion photographs, are often resistant to interpretation. Whilst acknowledging the legitimacy of existing critiques, this volume extends and develops them by examining a different set of analytical models. Drawing on the latest research in fields including psychology, cognitive neuroscience, neuroaesthetics and cultural studies, Fashion Photography broadens the critical analysis of fashion photography by examining the affective and embodied dimensions of fashion imagery including emotional responses, sensory crossover, and the biological registers of image perception.
