It was in these adverse conditions that jazz performers discovered the power of dress as a visual tool used to defy mainstream societal constructs, shaping a new fashion and style aesthetic. Fashion and Jazz is the first study to identify the behaviours, signs and meanings that defined this newly evolving subcultural style. Drawing on fashion studies and cultural theory, the book provides an in-depth analysis of the social and political entanglements of jazz and dress, with individual chapters exploring key themes such as race, class and gender. Including a wide variety of case studies, ranging from Billie Holliday and Ella Fitzgerald to Louis Armstrong and Chet Baker, it presents a critical and cultural analysis of jazz performers as modern icons of fashion and popular style. Addressing a number of previously underexplored areas of jazz culture, such as modern dandyism and the link between drug use and glamorous dress, Fashion and Jazz provides a fascinating history of fashion's dialogue with African-American art and style. It is essential reading for students of fashion, cultural studies, African-American studies and history"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aDress, body, culture. 606 $aClothing and dress$xHistory 606 $aFashion$xHistory 606 $aJazz$xSocial aspects 606 $aFashion & society$2bicssc 606 $aClothing and dress$xHistory 606 $aFashion$xHistory 606 $aJazz$xSocial aspects 615 0$aClothing and dress$xHistory. 615 0$aFashion$xHistory. 615 0$aJazz$xSocial aspects. 615 7$aFashion & society 615 0$aClothing and dress$xHistory 615 0$aFashion$xHistory 615 0$aJazz$xSocial aspects 676 $a391 686 $a21.85$2bcl 686 $a24.65$2bcl 686 $a71.59$2bcl 686 $aDES005000$aMUS025000$2bisacsh 686 $aLC 12610$2rvk 686 $aLS 48200$2rvk 700 $aMcClendon$b Alphonso$01537401 801 0$bDLC 801 1$bCaBNVSL 801 2$bCaBNVSL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910787925903321 996 $aFashion and jazz$93786684 997 $aUNINA
