Barthes & Fashion

Book Launch


Roland Barthes changed the way a generation read. A cultural commentator before his time, his careful and playful analysis of texts revolutionized the way we comprehend cultural products. The Language of Fashion (Berg, 2006) brings together all Barthes’ untranslated writings on fashion. It presents a set of remarkable essays, revealing the breadth and insight of his long engagement with fashion and the history of clothes. Translator and editor Andrew Stafford will be in conversation with French publisher, writer and critic Patrick Mauriès, author of enlightening essays on Barthes, fashion and the arts. In English.
