Fashion & Anti-fashion: exploring adornment and dress from an anthropological perspective (English Edition)

Exploring adornment and dress from an anthropological perspective - a classic text from 1978 revised with a new introduction and postscript for the 21 century.

When Fashion & Anti-fashion first appeared in 1978, Angela Carter, reviewing it for New Society magazine, pronounced it a 'delicious book'.

Now Ted Polhemus (Streetstyle, Style Surfing, Bodystyles, BOOM!) has revised its original introductory text and added a new introduction and postscript to position it in the 21st century.

What's the difference between fashion and style? Has fashion gone out of fashion? Why are we the one and only decorated ape? Why is fashion so last century? What is 'sampling & mixing' style and why is it the key to personal identity in the 21st century?
