Synopsis
This book offers a concise introduction to the sociology of fashion, drawing a clear distinction between clothing as a tangible product and fashion as a symbolic cultural phenomenon. Author Yuniya Kawamura challenges the myth of the 'genius designer,' asserting that fashion is a belief system shaped by an institutional structure. She reveals how this systemic framework legitimizes designers' creativity and explains the origins of major fashion cities like Milan and New York.
