The contributors to this collection take fashion seriously, neither dismissing it as inconsequential nor demonizing it as inherently anti-feminist. The individual authors overwhelmingly come from a Third Wave feminist background; while acknowledging the ways in which fashion has traditionally been used to limit and restrict women, they also discuss its potential as a means of politicized self-expression. The essays range over a broad spectrum of topics. Some focus on the authors' personal discomfort with the Second Wave uniform of overalls, shapeless t-shirts, and sensible shoes and their efforts to create looks that would both honor their politics and flatter their figures. Others examine the subtext of subculture fashions, including the Lolita look in Japan and the "glam" abayas popular among wealthy Muslim women in the United Arab Emirates. The collection does not neglect the economic side of fashion, with a particularly interesting piece that discusses the politicization of style and charity in the (Product) Red clothing line. Quite simply, this book is an excellent and accessible introduction to the intersection between Third Wave feminism and fashion theory. Summing Up: Highly recommended. All levels/libraries. R. A.
