Book Description

Instead of the logic of representation of fashion in the light of mode society and postmode culture, this book argues that contemporary fashion should be regarded as a performative-conceptual tu in the very core of body iconograms. The text presents a theoretical perspective of the phenomenon of fashion within fashion theory as establishing a new approach from visual semiotics. Through this lens, fashion, therefore, emerges as a visual code of contemporary societies and cultures in the networked matrices of hyperreality and visions of that coming time that will determine the combination of cybeetics, fetishism and transgression.
