Fashion, Femininity and Modernity Author(s): Ilya Parkins Format: Paperback Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing PLC, United Kingdom Imprint: Berg Publishers ISBN-13: 9780857853271, 978-0857853271 Synopsis Through a highly original and detailed analysis of the memoirs, interviews and other life writings of Poiret, Dior and Schiaparelli, this book explores changing notions of femininity in the early decades of the twentieth century, when the democratization of fashion began. Examining the idea of modernity, eternity and the ephemeral in the writings of these haute couturiers, the book reflects on fashion's ambivalent approach to women, which both celebrated and vilified them, presenting them as both ultra modern style leaders and irrational creatures stuck in the past. This fascinating text is key reading for scholars and students of fashion, gender studies, cultural studies and history.
