Beskrivning
Ulrich Lehmann brings together methods and ideas from social sciences and material production to offer a new political reading of fashion in today’s post-democracy. Accessing rare source material across a wide range of European languages and cultures, he offers insight into new working structures in the manufacture of garments and textiles. Case studies include the male suit in Alfred Hitchcock’s film North by Northwest (1959), the revolutionary production methods in the work of Carol Christian Poell and the innovative textile manufacture of Bonotto in Molvena (north-East Italy)

Recensioner i media

Ulrich Lehmann’s work to date has been invaluable in bringing together the history of ideas with the ever-shifting concept of ‘fashion’. In Fashion and Materialism he offers a timely reflection on the manner in which the Marxist understanding of historical materialism is fundamental to fashion’s meaning. In an era that several pundits have declaimed as one of post-fashion amorality, Lehmann’s provocative polemic may well prove a fundamental and corrective text for shaping and interpreting a post-fashion future.
