时装是一个充满活力的全球产业，在国际受众的经济，政治，文化和社会生活中发挥着重要作用。它涵盖了高级艺术和大众文化，并且在物质和视觉文化中起着重要作用。本书介绍了时尚的无数影响和表现形式。探索时尚是一种创造力，一种业务和一种交流手段。从卡尔·拉格斐（Karl Lagerfeld）对香奈儿（Chanel）标志性风格的创造性重塑，到印度设计师曼尼什·阿罗拉（Manish Arora）的多元文化参考，从19世纪百货公司举办的壮观时装秀到日本青年的混搭风格，这本书都探讨了时尚的方式。都反映和塑造了当代文化。使用通过历史和当代的例子，它可以清楚地了解自文艺复兴以来时尚的发展方式，同时提出了有关其地位，道德信誉和对消费者的影响的问题。

这本书提供了有关时装业结构的见解，以及有关历史，社会和文化背景下的时装设计，推广和消费方式。它以主题为基础进行结构设计，以研究设计师的角色和发展，购物的增长以及与制作和销售流行服装有关的不同业务。考虑到时尚在艺术和合作中的代表性，还探讨了时尚与更广泛文化的关系

在设计师和艺术家之间，围绕时尚的道德争议，试图生产道德服装的尝试以及全球化对时尚贸易的影响。

关于系列：牛津大学出版社的“非常简短的介绍”系列包含几乎每个主题领域的数百个标题。这些袖珍书本是快速在新学科上取得成功的理想方法。我们的专家作者结合了事实，分析，观点，新思想和热情，使有趣且具挑战性的主题更具可读性。

Fashion is a dynamic global industry that plays an important role in the economic, political, cultural, and social lives of an international audience. It spans high art and popular culture, and plays a significant role in material and visual culture.

This book introduces fashion's myriad influences and manifestations. Fashion is explored as a creative force, a business, and a means of communication. From Karl Lagerfeld's creative reinventions of Chanel's iconic style to the multicultural reference points of Indian designer Manish Arora, from the spectacular fashion shows held in nineteenth century department stores to the mix-and-match styles of Japanese youth, the book examines the ways that fashion both reflects and shapes contemporary culture.

Using historical and contemporary examples, it gives a clear understanding of how fashion has developed since the renaissance, while raising questions about its status, ethical credibility, and influence on consumers.

The book provides insight into the structure of the fashion industry and how fashions are designed, promoted and consumed, in relation to relevant historical, social and cultural contexts.
