«El lenguaje de la moda» is Alison Lurie's essay on fashion, published by Ediciones Paidós in paperback (304 pages, in Spanish).
An essay based on the idea that clothing works as a language: fashion changes are not imposed by designers but respond to shared desires and needs. Lurie examines garments and accessories and shows how they reveal tastes, professions, origins, opinions and even moods when we dress.
Part of the Contextos collection from Paidós, number 1, and carries the subtitle «Una interpretación de las formas de vestir».
Will appeal to readers of fashion and culture, as well as image and styling professionals.
Alison Stewart Lurie was an American novelist and academic. She won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction for her 1984 novel Foreign Affairs. Although better known as a novelist, she wrote many non-fiction books and articles, particularly on children's literature and the semiotics of dress.
