Fashion’s Double: Representations of Fashion in Painting, Photography and Film

This volume explores representations of fashion in painting, photography, and film. It describes the early stages of fashion imagery until the postwar period, including the work of Edward Steichen, Adolph de Meyer, George Hoyningen-Huene, Horst, Cecil Beaton, Richard Avedon, and Lee Miller; fashion in Breakfast at Tiffany’s and The Hunger Games; the photography of Helmut Newton; pornochic, retro-elegance, and BDSM fashion in music video; and the virtualization of fashion on the internet and the new genre of fashion film.
