Fashion. A Theory

<p>In Western societies a long-standing philosophical tradition prioritizes deeper meanings over surface appearances thus reducing clothes to mere false impressions favoring an unvarnished truth instead. Then to write on clothes implies the reversal of a whole philosophical attitude: trying no more to pose clothes as a source of mistakes but as a mold matrix no longer as a secondary and accessory element but as a very first and founding element determining individual behaviors as the social structures. It is this reversal that this book tries to promote. And</p><p>doing so it tries to address what is obviously missing: a theory and also -theories being reinforced by practices- the sociological practices of clothes and fashion. </p>
