Fashion’s Double. Representations of Fashion in Painting, Photography and Film, Adam Geczy, Vicky Karaminas

Geczy and Karaminas single out the imagery, in its literal meaning of corpus of images feeding people and society. This imagery is actually a ‘double’ for fashion, which is not the copy of a so called master, but fashion itself as perpetual and actual presence of duplicity. Looking into painting, drawing, photography, cinema, new media, and music videos the authors convey an excellent research not only on fashion as visual culture, but also on how fashion highlights the cognitive and social roles of representation and imagination
