Description: Wild: Fashion Untamed examines the practical, spiritual, psychosexual, and socioeconomic underpinnings of fashion's fascination with animals and birds. Skins, furs, feathers, and animals prints have played a major role in the history of fashion. In this volume's five chapters, deer, tigers, zebras, leopards, spiders, serpents, crocodiles, and the plumage of a variety of birds are referenced in examples that vividly convey how artists and designers have found inspiration from sources in prehistory, ancient mythology, and native cultures and have quoted the physical and sexual characteristics of the animal kingdom to evoke ideals of femininity.
