Fashionable, Sexual, Unconscious. Psychoanalysis of Style and the Eternal Problem of Having Nothing to Wear

Our subconscious knows how to speak the language of fashion. When we choose clothing, we choose a new version of ourselves. Our appearance is not just about following trends; it is an attempt to find inner support. Practicing psychoanalyst Pascal Navarri explains the psychological mechanisms behind our appearance: what we want to show through clothing and what we seek to hide.
With the help of psychoanalysis, the author addresses questions that are typically kept silent: androgyny in the modeling industry, eternal infantilism, logomania, and shopaholism.
The laws of fashion psychology are illustrated by examples of fashion icons. How did Karl Lagerfeld defend himself from his mother with glasses? Why did Coco Chanel’s stories about her father make her a designer? What does David Beckham’s image say about the feminine side of his personality?
This book is for those who strive for harmony between their outer and inner worlds. When we understand how our 'I' is structured, we can create an image that meets our true needs.
