<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>The first book to bring together music and fashion and situate both within the context of popular culture.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>The relationship between popular music and fashion has been a culturally significant one since the 1950s, and this book explores how music and musicians play a key role in the shaping of identity, taste and consumption. Using a range of historical and contemporary examples, this book uncovers the way in which fashion and music have worked to shape contemporary attitudes to bodies and identities.<br/><br/>Focusing on performers as much as fans, on the mainstream as much as the underground, Fashion and Music provides a lens through which to examine themes of gender, sexuality, ageing and youth, ethnicity, body image, consumer culture, fandom and postmodernity.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>This book is not only entertaining, but also informative. Miller presents a current perspective on various aspects of popular music in one easy to read book, which I plan to use in the classroom.<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Janice Miller</b> is Senior Lecturer in Cultural and Historical Studies at the London College of Fashion.
