纵观历史，某些形式和风格的服装一直被认为适合--或者更重要的是，不适合--适合年龄的人。尤其是年长的女性，长期以来一直受到社会压力，要求她们低调行事，采取谦逊、遮遮掩掩的风格。但随着老年女性渴望更年轻、更主流的款式，以及零售商意识到“灰色市场”的潜力，变化的迹象越来越多。《时尚与年龄》是第一个系统地探索服装与年龄之间联系的研究，它借鉴了时尚理论和文化老年学，以服装为媒介，考察了现代文化中人们对年龄的想象、体验和理解的变化方式。服装介于身体和社会表达之间，这本书探索了体现在服装和时代的文化构成中的意义。它借鉴了老年女性、记者和时尚编辑以及服装设计师和零售商的观点，旨在扩大时尚研究的议程，将大多数人的日常着装包括在内，将关于年龄的辩论从目前对依赖的关注转移到对年龄的生活体验的更全面的描述上。时尚与年龄将会引起时尚、物质文化、社会学、年龄社会学、服装史和服装设计师等专业学生的极大兴趣。
Throughout history certain forms and styles of dress have been deemed appropriate - or more significantly, inappropriate - for people as they age. Older women in particular have long been subject to social pressure to tone down, to adopt self-effacing, covered-up styles. But increasingly there are signs of change, as older women aspire to younger, more mainstream, styles, and retailers realize the potential of the 'grey market'. Fashion and Age is the first study to systematically explore the links between clothing and age, drawing on fashion theory and cultural gerontology to examine the changing ways in which age is imagined, experienced and understood in modern culture through the medium of dress. Clothes lie between the body and its social expression, and the book explores the significance of embodiment in dress and in the cultural constitution of age. Drawing on the views of older women, journalists and fashion editors, and clothing designers and retailers, it aims to widen the agenda of fashion studies to encompass the everyday dress of the majority, shifting the debate about age away from its current preoccupation with dependency, towards a fuller account of the lived experience of age. Fashion and Age will be of great interest to students of fashion, material culture, sociology, sociology of age, history of dress and to clothing designers.
