âMagnificent . . . Evans takes fashion very seriously, and writes in serious depth about it . . . sophisticated and seductive.ââSuzanne Moore, <i>New Statesman</i><br /><br />âOutstandingly researched, beautifully illustrated, and thrillingly authoritative, <i>Fashion at the Edge</i> may prove to be the definitive book on the generation of designers from London and Antwerp who came to prominence in the 1990s.ââRoger Tredre, <i>WGSN</i><br /><br />âCaroline Evans makes bold claims . . . by the end of the book I was gripped.ââMadeleine Bunting, Guardian<br /><br />âA benchmark publication that sets into print the preoccupations of a generation of like-minded scholars, curators, theorists, practitioners and critics. Handsomely designed, with a selection of arresting images that will convince future historians of fashion imagery that the turn of the twenty-first century was truly an extraordinary and haunted epoch, <i>Fashion at the Edge</i> is a complex synthesis . . . Evans has authored an influential classic.ââChristopher Breward, <i>Costume</i><br /><br />âI cannot be alone in having longed for just this type of book, a detailed study of cutting edge fashion, by someone who really understands its complexities as a discipline in its own right.ââNicola Donovan, <i>Selvedge</i><br /><br />âA complex and provocative text, one that displays both the substantial intellect and practical curiosity of its author.ââ<i>Publishers Weekly</i><br /><br />âEvans grapples with extremely interesting issues, such as why fashion imagery has become so dark and decadent. Her choice of contemporary fashion imageryâand her juxtaposition of these images with similar themes in artâis brilliant.ââValerie Steele, Director of The Museum at the Fashion Institute of Technology <br /><br /><br />
