Just a quick note on the readings;
Really enjoyed reading one, 'Fashion: Style, Identity and Meaning' by Fiona Anderson.
Reading 2, 'Status, Power and Display', which has taken me forever to read (I have 10 pages left :) ) makes some very good points, however it drags on a bit. I guess it's hard to compress the history and sociology of fashion into a short piece of writing but I did think Anderson's piece was much more effective. Both reinforced some good ideas.
I think both readings give us an insight on the different perspectives of fashion and photography and are psychologically and socialogically based. And I think the aim of both readings is to get us out of our comfort zones and to think not only visually, but
historically, socially, economically and politically,
because each of these contexts contribute to the impact and implications of fashion and photography as a whole.
