Zusatztext Well-structured ... interesting for anyone using clothes as an expression of ideals in a world that becomes increasingly tokenistic and tribal and where the way you look has a tangible impact on societal behaviours and become a means of performative communication. Informationen zum Autor Joanne Turney is Professor of Fashion and Textiles at the Winchester School of Art, University of Southampton, UK. Vorwort Interdisciplinary in its approach and using a series of garments and group wearers as case studies, this edited collection explores the connection between fashion and criminality. Zusammenfassung Fashion is widely recognised as a site for social acceptance and rejection, and as a signifier of personal identity. What happens when people stray from ‘appropriate’ dress codes or associate garments with ‘respectability’ or deviance? How does fashion relate to criminality? In this interdisciplinary volume, leading scholars propose new ways of seeing everyday dress and the body in public space. Garments and individual or group wearers are used as case studies to explore the codification of clothing as criminal – hoodies, trench-coats, Norwegian Lustkoffe sweaters, low-slung trousers and Hip Hop styling are all untangled as garments with criminal significance. The book questions the point at which morality as a form of social control meets criminality, and suggests ways to renegotiate established dress codes and terms such as ‘suitability’ and ‘glamour’ through the study of what people wear in response to notions of criminality.
