"Reflects upon the relationship between our physical covering and constructed personal environments, our individual and social identities and the contexts in which we live. It also looks at the role of clothing in cultural and personal stories through the work of Grayson Perry, Marie-Ange Guilleminot, Helen Storey and Claudia Losi. Issues of belonging and nationality, displacement and political and social confrontation are addressed by Yinka Shonibare MBE, Alexander McQueen, Sharif Waked, Alicia Framis, Meschac Gaba, Dai Rees, Yohji Yamamoto and Acconci Studio. Meanwhile, the importance of performance in the presentation of fashion and clothing, highlighting the roles that we play in our daily life, are explored through the work of Marina Abramović, Hussein Chalayan, Yoko Ono, Gillian Wearing RA and Andreas Gursky, amongst others"--Back cover.
