In a historical and theoretical exploration of the relationship between fashion and food, leading authors place these related consumer objects in contexts such as body discourse, taste, capitalism and sociology.
For hundreds of years, consumers and scholars have acknowledged that food is affected by the same rapid shifts in taste and consumption as clothing. Trends in fashion and in food are increasingly being marketed in tandem and sold as fashionable commodities to reinforce capitalist power. Yet despite this, the reciprocal relationship between fashion and food has not been fully explored until now.
Gastrofashion from Haute Cuisine to Haute Couture examines the relationship between food and fashion in clothing, style, and dress in all its manifestations, from the restaurant to the catwalk, to cookbooks, diet fads, slow food, fast fashion, celebrity chefs, artists, and musical performers.
This much-needed book offers a substantive and incisive discussion for all those interested in the complex interrelationship between food and fashion scholars, students, and general readers alike.
