The Swimsuit: Fashion from Poolside to Catwalk documents the modern swimsuits trajectory from mens underwear and circus/performance wear to its unique niche in world fashion. It emphasizes the relationship between fashion; media; celebrity; sport and the cultivation of the modern body. This fascinating book provides an historical; sociological and cultural context in which to view how the swimsuit - and Australia; the country that significantly influenced its modern form - migrated from the cultural and colonial periphery to the centre of international attention. In addition; the book offers new perspectives on national histories of the swimsuit and investigates how traditional European fashion centers have opened up to new markets and modes of living; bringing together influences from around the globe. The Swimsuit is essential reading for students; scholars; and the general reader interested in fashion; popular culture; history; media; sport; and gender studies.

Review
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. For teens by teensBy Oslash;ystein JetneThis "Ultimate Audition" book is written by teens - unlike the previous editions. I have not read all the 111 monologues by now; but my first impression is very good: There is a lot of fantasy and well-shaped monologues that will work out in the class room or on a scene. Hopefully; the next editions will also allow teens to contribute with their textes. I look forward to use both the present and the future monologues in my class!
