Summary
Clothing reflects everything, and by looking at the clothing of every situation, you can understand where the world is, in that moment. Furthermore, you can use clothing to predict and influence the future. Disrobed focuses on how clothing reflects our zeitgeist. Tang comments on whether you should or shouldn't spend money on style. This is not a book on the "should" of consumerism, but rather the "is" of consumption.
