Food and Fashion de Melissa Marra-Alvarez

Food and Fashion

Editat de Melissa Marra-Alvarez, Elizabeth Way
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 11 ian 2023
Food and Fashion accompanies a major exhibition at The Museum at FIT, New York's only museum dedicated solely to the art of fashion. This beautifully illustrated book featuring over 100 enticing full-color images, from fashion runways to fine art photography and period cookbooks, examines the influence of food culture through the lens of fashion over the last 250 years. It focuses on the ways that food culture has expressed itself in fashion and how these connect to broader socio-cultural change, examining how vital both have been in expressing cultural movements across centuries, and specifically exploring the role food plays in fashionable expression.With its superb selection of images, and thought-provoking and engaging discussion, Food and Fashion appeals to fashion enthusiasts who have an overlapping interest in food and food studies, including scholars and students, those who enjoy the fashion of food, and all who appreciate the visual culture of food, fashion, and art.

Recenzii

A significant contribution to the production of knowledge by bringing together ideas from two relatively new, specialized fields: Fashion Studies and Food Studies.
[A] timely and innovative volume that provides in-depth reflections, historical background . The originality of the essays in this volume is in putting together two important aspects of contemporary material life that contribute to the construction of individual and collective identities as well as personal preferences.
From dresses inspired by Marie Antoinette's 'Let them eat cake' quip to outfits resembling chocolate wrappers, this is a compendium of looks that are truly scrumptious.
The expansive collection of essays explores the intersection of food and fashion throughout history, catwalking around concepts of identity, culture and taste - as well as spotlighting issues such as gender and race politics, sustainability and social inequality . Food & Fashion is a deep dive into common and unexpected synergies between the two disciplines.
With beautiful illustrations throughout, Food & Fashion reveals the breadth of conversations that arise when considering these industries in tandem. The book raises interesting ideas about the cultural markers, with roots in commercialism and artistic expression, provoking readers to think about food and fashion from new perspectives.
Bringing together scholars and curators of fashion, this accomplished volume examines fashion's long standing cultural and historical relationship with food. It will make you think about what you eat and what you wear and by the time you finish reading this book, you'll be craving for more.
Adventurous, inspiring and challenging . An absolute must-have for food and fashion scholars and for lovers of both.
A perfect overview of the different parameters of fashion and food: every culture around the globe uses fashion and food to integrate people and to express ideas about gods, behavior, hierarchy, political systems . Based on excellent research, very well written and super beautiful.
