In this foundational text, Roland Barthes applies structuralist methodology to the study of fashion, examining the garment as a complex system of signs. By deconstructing the relationship between the 'written' fashion of magazines and the 'real' clothing worn by individuals, he reveals how cultural meanings are encoded and communicated through sartorial choices.
