Fashion Body Cult
E. Bippus, D. Mink
Arnoldsche Verlagsanstalt GmbH

Fashion as a game and area of experimentation: that is one of the principles that Bernard Wilhelm starts out with. Wilhelm is one of the more well-known figures in this interdisciplinary exploration of fashion. Designers, journalists, art, costume and theater historians, communications sociologists and experts discuss the representative and performative power of this art from their own perspective. The book covers cutting-edge positions as well as examples from the 19th and 20th centuries and investigates the interaction between aesthetics and different visions within fashion. Accompanied by photos and images, this book is an experiment that transcends genre boundaries and is for readers who want to know what lies beyond the surface of glamour.
