About Event
Join the Fashion & Theory Book Club in September to discuss The Anti-Aesthetic: Essays on Postmodern Culture edited by Hal Foster.
This text examines how postmodern critics and artists broke with modernism's faith in originality and progress across art, architecture, and photography, while questioning how far postmodern pastiche can really disrupt the structures it claims to resist. Its accounts of image and the commodified body later became key reference points for fashion theory.
Excited to discuss!
