Reviews

Delving into diverse texts that bring together several disciplines, Saunders documents the cultural power of fashion hegemony within the framework of global capitalism. Ultimately this insightful and beautifully written book locates new spaces from which to re-affirm the tensions inherent to fashion, gender and agency in the acquisition of cultural power. REGINA A. ROOT, Professor of Hispanic Studies and Specialist in Latin American Fashion, William & Mary
