Scholars have argued that postmodernism is dead and that we are entering into a new era that some have labelled altermodernism, digimodernism, performatism, and post-postmodernism. This book expands on the nascent scholarship of post-postmodernism to highlight how dress, fashion, and appearance are reflections of this new age.

The volume starts with a discussion of fashion, subjectivity, and time and an analysis of temporality, technology, and fashion in post-postmodern times. Later chapters analyse the work of design houses and mass producers such as Vetements, Gucci, and Uniqlo whose products align with post-postmodern aesthetics, hyperconsumption, and hypermodern branding. The book looks at diverse geographic and identity markers by discussing post-postmodernism and the religio-politico-cultural questions in South Asian Muslim fashion, image and identity presentation in queer social networking apps, and by exploring fashion designer Tom Ford’s output as a movie director. Two chapters discuss the post-postmodern fashion exhibition with analyses of recent exhibitions and an in-depth look at the work of exhibition maker Judith Clark. The final chapter is written by members of The Rational Dress Society, a counter-fashion collective that makes JUMPSUIT, an experimental garment to replace all clothes.

Fashion, Dress, and Post-postmodernism is a companion to research on relationships between post-postmodernism, fashion, and dress, and the go-to resource for researchers and students interested in these areas.

Reviews for Fashion, Dress and Post-postmodernism

What does post post-modernism mean for fashion's status in a world gone awry from technological, environmental and political change? At a time of radical transitions, this fresh, authoritative and critically engaging volume brings together original contributions that address this philosophical concept and its impact on the ways that fashion and dress are perceived and consumed. Read and learn. --Vicki Karaminas, Massey University, New Zealand This publication offers the reader a rich theoretical exploration of contemporary fashion with a good breadth of scope that encompasses exhibition and performance. Examining many of the issues pertinent to contemporary discourse, Fashion, Dress and Post-Postmodernism is an essential read for anyone researching or studying post-postmodernism and dress and fashion. --Gill Stark, Regent's University London, UK
