«El imperio de lo efímero: La moda y su destino en las sociedades modernas» is the essay by Gilles Lipovetsky, published by Editorial Anagrama in hardcover.
Lipovetsky studies fashion as a central phenomenon of Western modernity: from its emergence in the late Middle Ages to its role in production, consumption, advertising, culture and the media. He argues that, far from being a frivolous luxury, the logic of the ephemeral and seduction consolidates liberal democracy and individual autonomy.
It belongs to Anagrama's Argumentos collection, where it is number 107, translated by Felipe Hernández and Carme López.
Reference reading for those interested in fashion, sociology and cultural criticism.
Gilles Lipovetsky is a French philosopher, writer, and sociologist.
