This book seeks to explode fashion, and with it, the stigma in philosophy against fashion's superficiality. Using ancient Greek texts, alongside allusions to fashion and pop culture, Grewal examines the rift between fashion and philosophy, and challenges the claim that fashion is modern. Fashion's quarrel with philosophy may be at least as ancient as that infamous quarrel between philosophy and poetry. And the quest for fashion's origins-for a neutrally-outfitted self, stripped of the self-awareness that comes with thinking-prompts deeper questions about human agency and time. In the silhouettes of clothes and words, fashion emerges as philosophy's most underestimated doppelgänger. Book jacket.
