Food and Fashion

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 130 enticing full-color images, from period and contemporary fashion garments to designer runways and fine art photography, examines the ways that food culture has expressed itself in fashion and how these connect to broader sociocultural changes. It illustrates how vital both mediums have been in expressing cultural movements across centuries, and specifically explores the role food plays in fashionable expression. With its superb selection of images, and thought-provoking and engaging discussions, Food and Fashion appeals to fashion enthusiasts who have an overlapping interest in food and food studies, including scholars, students, and all who appreciate the history and visual culture of food, fashion, and art.--Back cover
