The Anatomy of Fashion : Why We Dress the Way We Do (9780714849478)



Why do we dress the way we do? Why has fashion changed and evolved over the centuries? How did the 3-piece suit come about? Why have hemlines risen and fallen over time? In The Anatomy of Fashion, respected fashion commentator Colin McDowell goes beyond standard fashion histories and narrative surveys to answer these questions and many more.

Uniquely structured, taking the reader through fashion and dress from head to toe - the whole body is anatomized into sections including 'The Body Unclothed'(Skin and Body Adornment, Materials and Texture, and Colour and Pattern), 'The Body Anatomized'('Head to Waist'and 'Hips to Feet'), and 'The Body Clothed'(Looks and Themes in Dress). Visually rich, with over 500 photographs, illustrations, paintings and film stills, the book includes work by designers and labels such as Ralph Lauren, Chanel, Yves Saint Laurent, Alexander McQueen, Versace, Carhartt, Diesel and more.

The book's dynamic structure and layout are equally suited for browsing and for serious reference, but The Anatomy of Fashion is not simply a picture book. It is a sourcebook by one of the world's leading fashion scholars that seeks nothing less than a thorough analysis of the roots of every aspect of fashion today.

Living Sociologically : Concepts and Connections (9780199325948)

Students are drawn to topics of urgent sociological concern-race, class, gender, family, popular culture, health, and crime-by a need to both understand the forces that shape their world, and their desire to make the world better. It can be challenging, however, for students to link sociological concepts with real-world applications. Living Sociologically: Concepts and Connections helps students make those connections. Encouraging students to observe, explore, and think critically about the social world, Living Sociologically offers a new, class-tested framework for teaching introduction to sociology. The "paired concepts" approach demonstrates the interdependent ways in which social forces work, and encourages students to engage with complexity and contradiction. It also connects students to a broader set of questions and provides them with critical, analytical tools for their post-college lives. In addition, each chapter includes an opening vignette, examples of contemporar...

Manner fuhren, Frauen folgen? : Geschlechterbeziehungen im echten Leben und im Tango (3746082005)

Die Unterschiede könnten größer kaum sein: Sie ist Krankenschwester, Heilpraktikerin und Illustratorin, er Mathematiker, Autor und pensionierter Redakteur. Dazu sind beide seit langen Jahren dem argentinischen Tango verfallen. Und nun schreiben Manuela Bößel und Peter Ripota auch noch gemeinsam ein Buch - gar zum Thema Geschlechterbeziehungen! Zudem zwei Menschen, die fest, ja manchmal stur zu ihren Überzeugungen stehen ... Kann das gutgehen? Nein. Aber die Dokumente ihres Scheiterns an der alten Menschheitsfrage Passen Männer und Frauen zusammen? sind spannend, witzig und manchmal sogar charmant, ja erhellend. Das Problem ist nur: Viele Leser könnten sich wiedererkennen. Das mag fallweise ernüchtern ... Dieses Buch richtet sich nicht speziell an Tanzende. Der ihnen wohl vertraute Tango liefert den Autoren aber Laborbedingungen zur Lösung der Frage, was eine Beziehung so erhebend oder kaputt macht. Die Auswirkungen im Freiland sind gleichermaßen für alle Frauen, Männer oder Dazwischenl...
