To explore the history and aesthetics of fashion, including clothes in general, this entry comprises four essays: Dress in the World; La Haute Couture; Fashion as Art; Fashion and Philosophy. The first essay is an overview of the aesthetics of dress from the beginning of civilization to the present in cultures around the world. The second essay is a survey of the distinct Western tradition of la haute couture, or "high" fashion, which began only in the nineteenth century. The third essay is a discussion of whether fashion is an art. The fourth essay is an analysis both of why philosophers, even aestheticians, have said little about clothing and fashion and of what they have said when they have discussed them.) |
