The Clothed Body

What we wear is a vehicle for the expression of politics, gender and identity, placing clothing at the root of a complex set of messages. This book shows how semiotics can provide a convincing template for understanding dress in a range of contexts and is a useful reading for anyone interested in the meaning of what we wear.
