Style offers clues about everything from class to which in-group we belong to. Bad Feminist for fashion, Dress Code takes aim at the institutions within the fashion industry while reminding us of the importance of dress and what it means for self-presentation. Everything—from societal changes to the progress (or lack thereof) of womens rights to the hidden motivations behind what we choose to wear to align ourselves with a particular social group—can be tracked through clothing. Veronique Hyland examines thought-provoking questions such as: Why has the "French girl" persisted as our most undying archetype What does "dressing for yourself" really mean for a woman How should a female politician dress Will gender-differentiated fashion go forever out of style How has social media affected and warped our sense of self-presentation, and how are we styling ourselves expressly for itNot everyone participates in painting, literature, or film. But there is no "opting out" of fashion. And yet, fashion is still seen as superficial and trivial, and only the finest of couture is considered as art. Hyland argues that fashion is a key that unlocks questions of power, sexuality, and class, taps into history, and sends signals to the world around us. Clothes means something—even if youre "just" wearing jeans and a T-shirt. Author Biography Veronique Hyland is ELLEs fashion features director. Her work has previously appeared in the New York Times, the New Yorker, W, New York magazine, Harpers Bazaar, and Conde Nast Traveler.
