Ulrich Lehmann
Fashion and Materialism
Fashion and Materialism is a cultural, historical, and philosophical exploration of fashion in economic and social life from the 1830s to the present day. Ulrich Lehmann brings together methods and ideas from the social sciences and material production to offer a new political reading of fashion in today's postdemocratic world. Drawing on rare source material from a range of European cultures, he offers insight into new systems of textile and garment manufacture. View this publication.
