Publisher's Synopsis
Fashion isn't just fabric-it's power. It dictates who gets taken seriously, who is excluded, and who profits off our insecurities. From the History of Fashion as rebellion to the billion-dollar beauty industry selling empowerment in a bottle, Revolution in Heels rips apart the seams of an industry built on both liberation and control.
This isn't just another Fashion Culture Book. It's a deep dive into Fashion Culture, unpacking how Fashion and Beauty Standards shape identity,
gender politics, and consumerism. Why are trends designed to keep us chasing an unattainable ideal? Can the industry ever be truly inclusive, or does it just rebrand exclusivity under a new name? And most importantly-can we ever dress for ourselves in a world that profits off telling us who to be?
Sharp, witty, and deeply analytical-think The Devil Wears Prada meets Cultural Criticism of Fashion-this book dissects style, power, and consumer culture with a mix of historical insight and pop culture critique. Whether you worship at the altar of couture or think fashion doesn't matter, this book will change the way you see clothing, identity, and power forever.
For readers of Pop Culture Books like Trick Mirror and The Beauty Myth, this is a fearless critique of the industry-no fluff, no frills. Just the Fashion Empowerment revolution we didn't know we needed.
