Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fashion and Feeling: The Affective Politics of Dress explores the complex nexus of fashion and the feeling body from a variety of critical perspectives across fashion studies, anthropology, sociology, design practice, and media studies. It asks such questions as: What does fashion look and feel like in an age dominated by amplified anxiety, isolation, depression, and precariousness? How are feelings woven into clothing and mobilized through fashion practices in ways that might sustain living with a sense of ongoing crisis? Does fashion have the potential to help us reimagine new lifeworlds which might be reinvigorating? In other words, how is fashion engaging with the “bad,” the “good,” and the ambivalent feelings associated with our personal and collective histories, with our troubled political present, and with our imagined future? Despite such diverse and scattered contributions, the potentialities of “feeling” for the study of fashion are still largely neglected. This edited volume seeks to tease out possible avenues of investigation of the clothed body and its representations through the lens of feeling.

Download or read book The Religious Life of Dress written by Lynne Hume and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2013-10-24 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From clothing to the painted and scarified nude body, through overt, public display or esoteric symbols known only to the initiated, dress can convey information about beliefs, faith, identity, power, agency, resistance, and fashion. Taking a 'senses' approach, Hume's engaging account takes into consideration the look, smell, feel, touch and sound of religious apparel, the 'smells and bells' of dress and its accoutrements, as well as the emotions evoked by donning religious garb. The book's global perspective provides wide-ranging, yet detailed, coverage of religious dress, from the history and meaning of the simple 'no-frills' attire of the Anabaptists to the power structure displayed in the elaborate fabrics and colours of the Roman Catholic Church; Hume examines the 2,500 year-old tradition of Buddhist robes, the nudity of India's holy men, and much more. With chapters on Sufism, Vodou, modern Pagans, as well as painted and tattooed indigenous and modern Western bodies, the reader is swept along on a sensual journey of the sight, sound, smell and feel of wearing religion. Unique in its field, this intriguing and informative anthropological approach to the body and dress is an essential read for students of Anthropology, Anthropology of Dress, Sociology, Fashion and Textiles, Culture and Dress, Body and Culture and Cultural Studies.

This book was released on 2024-05-29 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fashion, more than a form of expression, is a powerful language that communicates our personality, emotions and intentions. Colors, central elements of fashion, play a fundamental role in this process, directly influencing how we are perceived and how we feel. The Science Behind Colors: Color psychology studies how colors affect our perceptions, emotions and behaviors. Each color has a specific frequency that vibrates in our body, causing different psychological reactions. Colors and their Emotions: •Red: Passion, energy, vitality, power, boldness. •Yellow: Joy, optimism, creativity, enthusiasm, joviality. •Blue: Tranquility, peace, trust, security, serenity. •Green: Harmony, balance, health, hope, renewal. •Pink: Love, affection, romanticism, femininity, delicacy. •Purple: Luxury, sophistication, power, creativity, mystery. •Black: Elegance, authority, professionalism, strength, mystery. •White: Purity, simplicity, peace, innocence, freshness. The Personality Palette: The colors we choose to wear reveal aspects of our personality. Warm colors, such as red, orange and yellow, express extroversion, dynamism and enthusiasm. Cold colors, such as blue, green and purple, reflect introspection, calm and seriousness. Color in Nonverbal Communication: Colors can be used to convey messages and intentions without the need for words. For example, wearing red to a job interview can convey confidence and authority, while wearing blue can convey calm and trustworthiness. Creating Looks with Emotional Impact: •Match colors to your mood. If you are feeling happy, wear cheerful colors like yellow and orange. If you're feeling calm, wear calming colors like blue and green. •Use colors to highlight your strengths. If you have green eyes, use shades of green to highlight them. If you have brunette hair, use shades of red to highlight your skin color. •Create monochromatic looks for an elegant and sophisticated look. •Use contrasting colors for a more fun and bold look. •Bet on colorful accessories to give a special touch to your look. Conclusion: Colors are powerful tools that can be used to express your personality, communicate your emotions and create looks with emotional impact. Explore the color palette and discover how colors can help you feel more confident, powerful and authentic.

Download or read book American Dreamer written by Tommy Hilfiger and published by Ballantine Books. This book was released on 2016-11-01 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this tale of grit and glamour, setbacks and comebacks, business and pop culture icon Tommy Hilfiger shares his extraordinary life story for the first time. Few designers have stayed on top of changing trends the way Tommy Hilfiger has. Fewer still have left such an indelible mark on global culture. Since designing his first collection of “classics with a twist” three decades ago, Tommy Hilfiger has been synonymous with all-American style—but his destiny wasn’t always so clear. Growing up one of nine children in a working-class family in Elmira, New York, Tommy suffered from dyslexia, flunked sophomore year of high school, and found himself constantly at odds with his father. Nevertheless, this self-described dreamer had a vision and the relentless will to make it a reality. At eighteen he opened his own clothing store, parlaying his uncanny instinct for style into a budding career as a fashion designer. Through decades of triumph and turmoil, Tommy remained doggedly optimistic. To this day, his approach to commerce is rooted in his positive view of the world. American Dreamer brims with anecdotes that cover Tommy’s years as a club kid and scrappy entrepreneur in 1970s New York as well as unique insights into the exclusive A-list personalities with whom he’s collaborated and interacted, from Mick Jagger and David Bowie to Ralph Lauren and Calvin Klein. But this is more than just a fashion icon’s memoir—it’s a road map for building a brand, both professionally and personally. Tommy takes us behind the scenes of every decision—and every mistake—he’s ever made, offering advice on leadership, business, team-building, and creativity. This is the story of a true American original, told for the first time in his own words, with honesty, humor, and the insatiable appetite for life and style that proves that sometimes you have to dream big to make it big. Praise for American Dreamer “A unique look into the fashion world . . . an honest, straightforward, mostly entertaining autobiography of the man who created a classic yet hip line of clothing.”—Kirkus Reviews “Fashionistas and business gurus alike will glean important lessons from Hilfiger’s rags-to-riches rag-trade story.”—Booklist “Tommy burst onto the fashion scene at the height of hip-hop and was instantly taken up by rappers and rockers alike. Since then, year after year he has been ahead of the curve with his elegant and stylish looks. His creative energy has always been an inspiration to me. He’s really himself in American Dreamer.”—Mick Jagger "In American Dreamer Tommy shows how he has taken the (rock) stars and the (preppy) stripes and come up with a look—and a label—that are recognized globally as being quintessentially American, as well as a brand that constantly keeps time with pop music.”—Anna Wintour “Tommy is an inspiration to many people. American Dreamer shows how he has managed to be successful in business and done so with integrity.”—David Beckham “Tommy is one of the most genuine people I know! In American Dreamer you can feel his passion pour through everything he does: fashion, fatherhood, family, and friendship!”—Alicia Keys “Tommy Hilfiger is an American icon who was able to transcend fashion and blend it with pop culture and take it to a worldwide audience. American Dreamer documents how, unlike any other designer, Tommy was able to tap into music, its subculture, and its influence on society.”—Tommy Mottola
