Fashion and modernity
The book of fashion and modernity explores the multifaceted nature of clothing and its ambiguities and is an innovative work that is accompanied by creativity. First of all, this book is a continuation of studies in the field of clothing that have been conducted in the last two decades. This book is a link between past and present. Following fashion and wearing fashionable clothes or having an attractive and well-groomed appearance is a shield against the world and people. The sexual attraction of clothes is a central theme, but the clothes themselves are often used to create surprise, exert influence, create repulsion and attraction. The book of modernity is as much an exploratory work as it is a polemical work. Its early roots date back to the 1980s.
In the 1980s, new ways of understanding culture and cultural works were developed, and a movement of praising Madke based on the production of beauty resulting from the artist's mastery, was drawn towards emphasizing the hidden harms of class, race and gender. The last chapter of the book, which has been added to the new edition, discusses some issues in evaluating the changes in the fashion world since 1985 and the progress made in this field.
In spite of this basic premise, the book is based on the fact that the clothes of western societies, i.e. fashionable clothes, are socially an important and decisive symbolic system, and it is also a fundamental issue, and also that clothes as objects are so close to human bodies that They can also articulate themselves. And finally, the phenomenon of fashion, this most marginalized of arts, spends time in the heart of the history of the times and turns itself into an embodiment of the most hateful and destructive ideas like silent and unclaimed material objects.
