«Modas e Modos» is Gillo Dorfles's essay on the phenomenon of fashion, published by Edições 70 in paperback (112 pages, in Portuguese).
The author analyzes fashion as a cultural and communicative phenomenon, far from a simple chronicle of dress or an anthropological treatise on the clothed body. He understands dressing and ways of being as part of an ever-changing aesthetic and social process, and addresses the multiple facets associated with the ephemeral, the frivolous and the identity-related.
The cover includes the subtitle «Arte & Comunicação» and an illustration of a winged figure. The original edition dates from 1996.
Recommended for readers interested in fashion, visual culture and communication theory.
Angelo Eugenio "Gillo" Dorfles was an Italian art critic, painter, and philosopher.
