How images turn clothing into fashion

Adam Geczy examines fashion as an image-making process: garments acquire cultural force through the pictures and films that frame them. Bringing painting, photography, cinema and online fashion film into conversation, the book traces connections among dress, identity, status, embodiment and self-representation. Case studies of figures including Nick Knight and Helmut Newton sit alongside screen and music-video examples, including The Hunger Games and Duran Duran’s “Girl Panic,” giving the discussion a cross-media scope. The emphasis is on representation—how visual contexts shape fascination, desire and the social meanings attached to clothing.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Students of fashion, visual culture, and cultural studies
  • Readers interested in photography, film, and fashion imagery
  • Scholars exploring dress, identity, and self-representation

Book overview

Mere clothing is transformed into desirable fashion by the way it is represented in imagery. Fashion's Double examines how meanings are projected onto garments through their representation, whether in painting, photography, cinema or online fashion film, conveying identity and status, eliciting fascination and desire.

With in-depth case studies including the work of Nick Knight and Helmut Newton, film examples such as The Hunger Games, music video Girl Panic by Duran Duran, and much more, this book analyses the interrelationship between clothing, identity, embodiment, representation and self-representation.

Written for students and scholars alike, Fashion's Double will appeal to anyone studying fashion, cultural studies, art theory and history, photography, sociology, and film.
