Fashioning Memory

Heike Jenss is Associate Professor of Fashion Studies, School of Art and Design History, Parsons The New School for Design, New York, USA.

This is a fascinating, worthwhile ethnographic and qualitative study of the choices of "sixties stylers" of Europe... The book will be extremely useful as documentary evidence or counter evidence for other scholars' theoretical positions. As such, it is most beneficial to graduate level and advanced undergraduate readers... A welcome addition to any good research library. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and above.
