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 Feeling Fashion written by Daye Hwang and published by Selfpassage. This book was released on 2018-10-25 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fashion is the experience of pleasure we take in the gamble of dress. It is an emotional phenomenon that is embodied and intimately connected to biological processes in the body, our cognition, and in resonance with embodied social dynamics. The fashion industry taps into the excitement and pleasure we feel in our bodies when being admired and adored by our peers. If we are unpack fashion as a gamble, sustainable fashion is not restricted to garments and their environmental impact, but we can radically reimagine how to play the game of fashion. What if the task of clothing designers is to design a new game that facilitates new social-emotional relationships between players? In this book, von Busch and Hwang offer a theoretical framework to reimagine fashion through affective and embodied perspectives on play and gambling, and through this move put experience as the foundation of understanding of fashion as a socially embodied phenomenon.

Download or read book American Cool written by Peter N. Stearns and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 1994-04 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cool. The concept has distinctly American qualities and it permeates almost every aspect of contemporary American culture. From Kool cigarettes and the Peanuts cartoon's Joe Cool to West Side Story (Keep cool, boy.) and urban slang (Be cool. Chill out.), the idea of cool, in its many manifestations, has seized a central place in our vocabulary. Where did this preoccupation with cool come from? How was Victorian culture, seemingly so ensconced, replaced with the current emotional status quo? From whence came American Cool? These are the questions Peter Stearns seeks to answer in this timely and engaging volume. American Cool focuses extensively on the transition decades, from the erosion of Victorianism in the 1920s to the solidification of a cool culture in the 1960s. Beyond describing the characteristics of the new directions and how they altered or amended earlier standards, the book seeks to explain why the change occured. It then assesses some of the outcomes and longer-range consequences of this transformation.

Download or read book Fashion and Authorship written by Gerald Egan and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-02-13 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studies of fashion and literature in recent decades have focused primarily on representations of clothing and dress within literary texts. But what about the author? How did he dress? What where her shopping practices and predilections? What were his alliances with modishness, stylishness, fashion? The essays in this book explore these and other questions as they look at authors from the eighteenth century through the postmodern and digital eras, cultural producers who were also men and women of fashion: Alexander Pope, Hester Thrale, Mary Robinson, Lord Byron, William Thackeray, Charlotte Bronte, Wilkie Collins, Margaret Oliphant, Virginia Woolf, Rebecca West, Trudi Kanter, Angela Carter, and Martin Margiela. The essays collected here ultimately converge upon a fundamental question: what happens to our notions of timeless literature when authorship itself is implicated in the transient and the temporary, the cycles and materials of fashion? “Gerald Egan’s provocative introduction to this exciting new book poses a bold question: How are authorship and literature – so often linked to ideas of transcendence – implicated in the transient trends and stuff of fashion? The thirteen chapters that follow track authorship’s complex implication in the discourses and materiality of fashion and fashionable goods from the eighteenth to the twentieth centuries. Wide-ranging in discipline and chronology, yet forensically focused and carefully argued, this book makes a striking and wonderfully original contribution to studies of authorship, celebrity and material culture.” — Dr Jennie Batchelor, Professor of Eighteenth-Century Studies,University of Kent, UK

Book excerpt: Dress Sense explores the importance of the senses and emotions in the way people dress, and how they attach value and significance to clothing. Inspired by the work of Joanne B. Eicher, contributors offer different multi-disciplinary perspectives on this key and unexplored topic in dress and sensory anthropology. The essays present historical, contemporary and global views, from British imperial dress in India, to revolutionary Socialist dress. Issues of body and identity are brought to the fore in the sexual power of Ghanian women's waistbeads, the way cross-dressers feel about their clothing, and how the latest three-dimensional body-scanning technology affects people's perception of themselves and their bodies. For students and researchers of dress and anthropology, Dress Sense will be invaluable in understanding the cross-cultural, emotional and sensual experience of dress and clothing.
Download or read book Fabric for Fashion The Complete Guide written by Amanda Johnston and published by Laurence King Publishing. This book was released on 2014-02-03 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fabric for Fashion: The Complete Guide is the only book specifically for fashion designers to explain the behaviour and properties of different fabrics. Fashion design is largely determined by how the fabrics work, move, feel and look. The most successful fashion designers are those who understand their materials, who match design skill with technical knowledge. This book bridges that gap by providing a mix of practical information and industry vocabulary, visually examining generic fabric types, discussing the characteristics of fabrics and showing how to exploit materials to push the boundaries of design. With stunning colour photographs that show how fashion designers, both past and present, have worked with fabrics, the book’s prime objective is to stimulate creative exploration of the relationship of fabrics to fashion.

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.
