While there have been scholarly commentaries on the philosophy of fashion, none yet have attempted to engage fashion on its own hybrid, inflected, and heterogeneous terms. Celebrating the plurality and audacity inherent in its subject, 'Fashion Statements' presents insightful, playful, and accessible essays onthe philosophy of fashion.
