Our subconscious speaks the language of fashion. By choosing clothes, we choose a new self. And our appearance isn't simply a matter of following trends; it's an attempt to find inner support. Practicing psychoanalyst Pascal Navarri explains the psychological mechanisms responsible for our appearance: what we want to show through clothing and what we try to hide.
Using psychoanalysis, the author answers questions that are usually kept silent: androgyny in the modeling industry, eternal infantilism, logomania, and shopaholism.
Navarri explains the laws of fashion psychology using examples from fashion icons. How did Karl Lagerfeld protect himself from his mother with glasses? Why did Coco Chanel's fairy tales about her father make her a fashion designer? What does David Beckham's image reveal about his feminine side?
This book is for those who strive for harmony between their outer and inner worlds. When we understand how our "I" is structured, we can create an image that meets our true needs.
You'll learn:
- What childhood traumas do people convey through their clothing?
- How do fears drive girls to imitate runway models?
- Why do women with teenage bodies become models?
- What drives the desire to look younger than their age, and how does this influence children's premature maturation?
