Recenzii
Geczy and Karaminas have again written an essential book that pries open the critical context of contemporary fashion. Using clear language, they dive deeply into cultural and fashion theory to soundly shore up their research and interpretation on the modernity of male and female fashion and its relationship to the body, gender, art and design. Importantly, this book links history and theory with an understanding and acknowledgement of the craft and industry of making clothes. Read it and think.
Thinking through the work of key contemporary practitioners from Vivienne Westwood, Miuccia Prada and Rick Owens, this book looks beyond the image to present new frames of reference to both the fashion enthusiast and informed scholar. Richly textured and resourced, this incisive and penetrating read presents fashion as a philosophy, provocation and cultural touchstone. Critical Fashion Practice is a cerebral tour de force and a must for anyone who has ever suspected there is more to fashion than meets the eye.
Focusing on a handful of contemporary fashion designers whose collections in many ways challenge and critique societal norms, Critical Fashion Practice will prove indispensable for anyone teaching and/or studying fashion - or for anyone seriously interested in fashion, for that matter. Just as in their previous book on art and fashion, Geczy and Karaminas again have managed to write about fashion in a most refreshing and engaging manner, here offering nine theoretically astute yet surprisingly accessible case studies that will appeal to a large and varied audience.
This superbly crafted, diligently researched and provocatively analysed study is essential reading for all students of fashion and those of the many other disciplines that reveal our culture: art, social sciences, anthropology, media studies, gender studies and philosophy. I award its authors a standing ovation as they soundly reinforce fashion's place in the sphere of serious academic study.
Geczy's and Karaminas' approach to contemporary fashion is highly refreshing. Their book sheds a new light on the work of some of the most iconic and intriguing designers of the past decade, and adds to the emancipation of fashion as a serious field of academic study. It is a must have for anyone working within the field of fashion theory and fashion writing.
Scholarly yet accessible, Critical Fashion Practice offers a close critical and contextual reading of key, late 20th-century designers' oeuvres; its innovative theoretical analysis and in-depth case studies make this an original addition to the field.
