«Piel de ángel» is the essay on the history of women's underwear by Lola Gavarrón, published by Tusquets Editores S.A. in paperback (308 pages, in Spanish).
The essay traces the evolution of women's lingerie as a reflection of social and aesthetic changes. Gavarrón analyses underwear as a functional garment and also as a symbol of hygiene, seduction, expression and rebellion, and notes that it is in the hidden that national and class differences are best appreciated. It includes a prologue by Luis G. Berlanga.
Originally published in 1982, it belongs as volume 14 to the Los Cinco Sentidos collection by Tusquets Editores.
Intended for readers interested in fashion, cultural history and sociology, as well as for those who enjoy essays that connect the intimate with the social.
