  Tansy E. Hoskins

  The Anti-Capitalist Book Of Fashion is out now.
  
  This is a book about fashion and capitalism, destruction and resistance, billionaires, workers and revolution. Above all it is a book that reveals fashion as a performance of deeper social issues.
  
  What started as an update of Stitched Up escalated when I found I couldn't stop writing. The book ended up being about 60% new text. I see it as the same skeleton with brand new flesh on its bones.
  
  There is a lot of new material in the text, covering so many of the things that have happened in the past decade - social media & communicative capitalism, influencers and digital activism, the rise of slash fashion brands, and Covid to name just a few.
  
  I also got to interview and collaborate with some excep

  Philip Roth

  Philip Milton Roth was an American novelist and short-story writer. Roth's fiction—often set in his birthplace of Newark, New Jersey—is known for its intensely autobiographical character, for philosophically and formally blurring the distinction between reality and fiction, for its "sensual, ingenious style" and for its provocative explorations of American identity.

  Camille Laurens

  Camille Laurens sur les hommes qu'elle décrit dans son livre..
  
  
  Elle ne va pas à leur rencontre, du moins pas comme on pourrait croire. Elle ne fond pas sur eux pour les capter, les saisir, leur parler. Elle les regarde. Elle se replit de leur iamge comme un lac du reflet d'un ciel. Elle les maintient d'abord dans cette distance qui permet de les réfléchir. Les hommes restent donc là longtemps, en face d'elle. Elle les regarde, elle les observe, elle les contemple. Elle les voit toujours comme ces voyageurs assis vis-à-vis d'elle dans les trains maintenant rares où cette disposition existe encore : non pas à côté d'elle, dans le même sens, mais en face, de l'autre côté de la tablette où gît le livre qu'elle écrit. Ils se tiennent là. C'est le
