«La mode» is the sociological essay by Dominique Waquet and Marion Laporte, published by PUF in paperback (127 pages, in French).
The work analyses fashion as a social and psychological phenomenon, present in every era and culture: a changing process where what is admired and imitated today soon becomes obsolete. Its symbolic, economic and political dimensions are addressed, with clothing as the main manifestation, and the role of France, with Paris as the world capital of fashion.
This work belongs to the Que sais-je? collection (no. 3426) and corresponds to the third edition, published in 2010.
An accessible synthesis for a general audience interested in fashion, sociology and cultural history.
