Faster than anything else, what we wear tells the story of who we are or who we want to be. It is the most immediate form of self-expression. Yet even as fashion touches the lives of each and every one of us, its influence and the vast creative industry that it supports can seem mysterious to outsiders. In Why Fashion Matters Frances Corner, Head of London College of Fashion, guides readers into the dizzying world of this rapidly expanding, increasingly global, always exciting industry. In provocative and intriguing entries, Corner teases out the glorious intricacies and contradictions of an industry that simultaneously values technology and craft; timeless style and fast fashion; the bespoke and the mass-market; consumption and sustainability; cold, hard numbers; and creative expression. From Shop 'til We Drop to The White Shirt to The One Trillion Dollar Business each entry offers a unique avenue into fashion and its impact, both positive and negative, on lives around the globe. 000718476 650_0 $$aFashion. 000718476 650_0 $$aFashion$$xEconomic aspects. 000718476 650_0 $$aFashion$$xSocial aspects. 000718476 650_0 $$aFashion$$xPsychological aspects. 000718476 85200 $$bgen$$hTT507$$i.C67$$i2014 000718476 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:718476$$pGLOBAL_SET 000718476 980__ $$aBIB 000718476 980__ $$aBOOK
