Fashion is a dynamic global industry that plays an important role in the economic, political, cultural, and social lives of an international audience. It spans high art and popular culture, and plays a significant role in material and visual culture. This book introduces fashion's myriad influences and manifestations. Fashion is explored as a creative force, a business, and a means of communication. From Karl Lagerfeld's creative reinventions of Chanel's iconic style to the multicultural reference points of Indian designer Manish Arora, from the spectacular fashion shows held in nineteenth century department stores to the mix-and-match styles of Japanese youth, the book examines the ways that fashion both reflects and shapes contemporary culture. Using historical and contemporary examples, it gives a clear understanding of how fashion has developed since the renaissance, while raising questions about its status, ethical credibility, and influence on consumers. The book provides insight into the structure of the fashion industry and how fashions are designed, promoted and consumed, in relation to relevant historical, social and cultural contexts. It is structured thematically, to look at the role and development of designers, the growth of shopping and the different businesses involved in making and selling fashionable clothes. Fashion's relationship to the wider culture is also explored, by considering its representation in art and collaborations between designers and artists, the moral controversies surrounding fashion, and attempts to produce ethical clothing, and the effects of globalisation on the fashion trade.

我必须承认,我期待着一本能提供一些尖锐、甚至有点反潮流观点的书,而《Fashion》在很大程度上满足了我的期待,尽管它的结构略显松散。它更像是一系列精心策划的、关于“风格如何成为权力工具”的深度散文集,而不是一本线性的编年史。我最喜欢其中关于“中性化着装”演变的那一章,作者大胆地将Coco Chanel的解放运动与后来的摇滚文化中的性别模糊现象联系起来,用一种近乎挑衅的笔触,质疑了我们对“男性气质”和“女性气质”的刻板印象是如何被时尚精心塑造并利用的。书中对“时尚圈的排他性”的揭露也十分尖锐,它毫不留情地撕开了那些光鲜亮丽的幕布,展示了幕后的种族偏见、阶级壁垒以及年龄歧视。这种不加粉饰的诚实,对于一个厌倦了公关辞令的读者来说,简直是久旱逢甘霖。不过,话说回来,有些章节的论证跳跃性有点大,有时候感觉作者在一个话题上深挖三尺后,下一秒就突然转到了完全不相干的配饰历史,这让我在阅读过程中需要不断地回顾前文,以确保思路没有断裂。但总体而言,这种探索性的叙事方式,反而带来了一种智力上的刺激,让你不得不主动去构建作者脑海中的宏大图景。
评分这本《Fashion》简直是时尚界的百科全书,我简直爱不释手。从头到尾,它都以一种极其生动和富有洞察力的方式,剖析了时装工业的方方面面。它不仅仅是罗列了各种设计师的名字和他们的代表作,更深入地挖掘了时尚背后的文化、社会和经济驱动力。比如,它对20世纪中叶“新风貌”(New Look)的兴起和衰落的分析,简直是教科书级别的精彩。作者没有停留在表面描述那些华丽的裙摆和收紧的腰线,而是将其置于战后社会对女性角色回归家庭的渴望以及对奢华的重新追求的大背景下去解读。我尤其欣赏它对材质创新的探讨,比如早期人造纤维的引入如何改变了服装的实用性和可及性,这部分内容让我对一件普通T恤的诞生有了全新的认识。再者,书中关于“快时尚”的批判性分析也极其到位,它不仅指出了这种模式对环境的巨大压力,还探讨了其对审美标准和工人权益的影响,视角非常全面且充满人文关怀。读完这本书,我感觉自己对衣橱里的每一件单品都有了更深的理解,不再只是被动的消费者,而是有思想的参与者。这本书的排版和图片选择也堪称艺术品,那些高质量的历史照片和T台抓拍,让文字的阐述更加直观有力,仿佛真的能闻到老式香水和新布料的味道。
评分坦白说,我翻开这本书时,最大的担忧是它会陷入对“趋势预测”的肤浅讨论,但《Fashion》完全避开了这种陷阱。它的核心在于对“时间感”和“永恒性”的探讨。作者花费了大量篇幅讨论那些被视为“经典”的单品——比如白衬衫、牛仔裤、小黑裙——是如何跨越时代,保持其核心吸引力的。这部分内容不是简单地赞美它们的百搭性,而是探讨了它们如何通过微妙的剪裁变化,不断地与当下社会的情绪和需求达成和解。例如,小黑裙在不同年代的长度和廓形变化,如何精确地映射了女性在公共场合角色的松紧转换。这本书最让人震撼的地方,在于它成功地将“服装”这一实体物品,提升到了一个关于“人类存在状态”的哲学讨论层面。它迫使读者思考:我们穿衣服,究竟是为了取悦他人,还是为了构建一个更真实的自我?阅读体验是一种渐进式的觉醒,每读完一个章节,都感觉自己对日常生活的理解又深了一层,对那些每天穿梭于城市中的人们身上的布料,多了一份敬意和审视的目光。这是一本真正能改变你穿衣方式的书,因为它改变了你思考时尚的方式。
评分说实话,我原本以为这会是一本晦涩难懂的学术著作,充满了只有行家才能理解的术语,但《Fashion》的叙事风格却出乎意料地平易近人,甚至带有一丝文学作品的韵味。作者的笔触细腻,善于捕捉那些转瞬即逝的、关于“美”的哲学思考。例如,书中对“颓废美学”(Decadence)在不同时代(从维多利亚时代到哥特复兴)的体现进行了对比,着重分析了过度装饰和人工雕琢背后的心理动机——是对自然秩序的反抗,还是一种对转瞬即逝的生命的无奈捕捉?这种对“为什么我们喜欢某种美”的追问,远超出了单纯的服装史范畴。我特别欣赏作者在描述具体服装细节时的那种画面感。他能用寥寥数语,让你想象出丝绸在灯光下如何流动,或者粗花呢面料如何通过其坚硬的纹理来传达一种特定的社会地位。这本书更像是一次深度的艺术鉴赏之旅,引导你去欣赏每一件被时代打磨过的衣物的“灵魂”。它没有硬性规定你该穿什么,而是潜移默化地提升了你的“视觉智商”,让你在面对任何服饰潮流时,都能迅速定位其历史根源和文化意图。
评分对于一个对时尚历史有一定了解的读者来说,我发现《Fashion》的价值在于它对“边缘”声音的挖掘和呈现。太多关于时尚的书籍都聚焦于巴黎、米兰和纽约这“三大中心”,但这本书却将聚光灯巧妙地转向了那些被主流叙事忽略的角落。我惊喜地发现了几章内容专门讨论了非西方传统服饰对现代设计的影响,尤其是日本“侘寂”(Wabi-sabi)美学如何渗透到极简主义设计中,以及非洲蜡染印花如何被欧洲设计师挪用和重新语境化。这种跨文化的视角是极其重要的,它揭示了时尚的全球性脉络和潜在的文化挪用问题,探讨得非常辩证。书中引用了大量非西方学者的观点,使得论述更加立体和具有全球视野。此外,它对“街头风格”(Street Style)的分析也颇为独到,没有将其简单地视为“反叛”,而是视为一种自发的、对抗自上而下潮流的“民主化”现象,并通过对滑板文化和嘻哈音乐着装的深入剖析,展现了底层文化如何反向塑造了高级时装的走向。这本书真正做到了,把时尚看作一种全球性的、不断流动的文化对话。
评分作为地铁读物很赞的一套书,随身装口袋,语言和内容安排都非常流畅有条理。稍微觉得有点浅,但是基本的道理信息也都在~以及看完这本书之后觉得时尚真的是件充满矛盾的事情 = =。
评分Outdated得过分
评分越了解就越看到这个行业的意义和问题
评分麻雀虽小,五脏俱全。字字珠玑。受益匪浅,只是图片太少。
