Fashion is not a new concept it responds to multiple needs: to cover up, to embellish, but also - and perhaps most importantly - to position ourselves in society. It is an expression of our freedom!

Designed as an accessible introdution, this lively guide offers a sociological, practical, and historial overview of fashion, retracting its crucial dates, principal players, and noteworthy events. The author offers the tools and vocabulary necessary to apreciate contemporary styles, and to better understand how to create your own look. She connects the dots between this form of creativity - one of the most popular in the modern world - and its links with fields such as music, film, media, and new technologies.

25 Key dates
30 Essential designers

The talk about series, created by Elisabeth Couturier, demystifies contemporary thought, from its artistic movements to major theories of the day, dridging the gap between past, present, and future.
