It emphasizes the relationship between fashion, media, celebrity, sport and the cultivation of the modern body. This fascinating book provides an historical, sociological and cultural context in which to view how the swimsuit - and Australia, the country that significantly influenced its modern form - migrated from the cultural and colonial periphery to the centre of international attention. In addition, the book offers new perspectives on national histories of the swimsuit and investigates how traditional European fashion centers have opened up to new markets and modes of living, bringing together influences from around the globe. 606 $aBathing suits$xHistory 606 $aBathing suits$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aBathing suits$xHistory$y21st century 606 $aBathing suits$zAustralia 606 $aHistory of fashion$2bicssc 615 0$aBathing suits$xHistory. 615 0$aBathing suits$xHistory 615 0$aBathing suits$xHistory 615 0$aBathing suits 615 7$aHistory of fashion 676 $a391.4/8 700 $aSchmidt$b Christine$g(Christine Margaret),$f1958-$01508347 801 0$bN 801 1$bCaBNVSL 801 2$bCaBNVSL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910787316903321 996 $aThe swimsuit$93739698 997 $aUNINA
