informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

Wonderfully interesting mid-deep dive into clothes and their role in society as a tool for creativity. My favourite section of this book was on workwear and denim. Learning the history behind the garments and reading about the ways they can be leveraged from their original context and use to make statements was fascinating. This book was unpretentious, intersectional and well written for accessibility to a varied range of audiences. It fuses form, function and art in an inspiring, clear and bite-sized history, leaving room for thought and reflection. I'll carry its ideas with me every time I step onto the street or into my wardrobe.

Legitimately very good. Loved that this wasn’t a glorified shopping guide but an earnest, thoughtful, and tasteful examination into the historical, socioeconomic, and psychological implications of what we choose to wear and the endless means in which artists subvert those implications. Also doubles as a really good photography book too, phenomenal visuals.
