Examines significant moments and movements in clothing and fashion and contextualizes them into a coherent narrative grounded in communication theory.

With its eminently readable style, Communicating Fashion makes fashion theory accessible by clearly expressing how we constantly send, receive and contextualize messages through our shared experience of dress. Full of excellent examples, visual aids and humorous anecdotes, the text takes a distinctly modern approach and engages the reader while respecting the intellectual underpinnings of the discipline. – Lorynn Divita, Baylor University, USA
This new landmark text opens readers to the future of how we view fashion, clothing, and the appropriate milieus that communicate with consumers regarding contemporary style. Lascity’s work not only takes on a journey of recent trends but builds on the contextual elements of tomorrow’s fashion and methods of scholarly inquiry. – Joseph H. Hancock, II, Drexel University, USA
