Dressing the City. Paris, Fashion and Media

The monograph by Professor Agnès Rocamora of the London College of Fashion, "Dressing the City: Paris, Fashion and Media," is dedicated to analyzing the main ways Paris is represented in fashion media, which, like numerous paintings, novels, and films about... the French capital, celebrates this city, maintaining its mythical status, particularly as the fashion capital. Based on publications in newspapers and magazines, the author reveals the processes of constructing the "Paris myth" and its significance in fashion geography. A separate section of the book is devoted to examining cultural types of the "Parisian" and the "passerby," as well as the image of the Eiffel Tower, which often appears in the media as a background for fashion photo shoots.
