unlocking fashion from the new look to millennial pink
2022
"Everything--from societal changes to the progress (or lack thereof) of women's rights to the hidden motivations behind what we choose to wear to align ourselves with a particular social group--can be tracked through clothing . . .

Hyland argues that fashion is a key that unlocks questions of power, sexuality, and class, taps into history, and sends signals to the world around us. Clothes means something--even if you're 'just' wearing jeans and a T-shirt"--Provided by publisher.
