PAGES: 320 ILLUSTRATIONS: 110 col., 107 b&w Paperback * A highly unusual take on fashion, viewing it from many different angles * Lavishly illustrated with more than 200 images in colour Fashion Body Cult boldly ventures on an interdisciplinary approach that views fashion from many different angles, at once revealing its diversity and making it accessible.
