Alessandro Michele, Emanuele Coccia

The Philosophy of Fashion (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

An illuminating exploration of fashion philosophy told by the brilliant Alessandro Michele, Creative Director of Gucci, and Emanuele Coccia, one of the most distinguished contemporary philosophers.

Drawing on Alessandro Michele's personal story and on the impact that he has had on contemporary norms with his work, Michele and Emanuele Coccia will show how traditionally distinct forms of creativity and intellectual pursuit - fashion and philosophy - are inextricably intertwined.

If fashion can distill centuries of art and philosophy into a daily experience accessible to every human being, philosophy cannot help but a become a form of fashion.
