With the triumph of a fashion milieu in which once tightly fixed rules have been deconstructed and almost anything goes, fashion has become a fertile field of study for academics across disciplines. This book brings together academics from philosophy, sociology, medicine, anthropology, psychology and psychiatry, to examine fashion's complex relationship with post-industrial societies. The authors seek to address, from the standpoint of their respective disciplines, what crucial functions fashion is fulfilling in the modern world, especially as it relates to the construction and deconstruction of the self.
