Draws a correlation between the American fashion industry and early twentieth-century literature. As American fashion diverged from a class-conscious industry governed by Parisian designers to become more commercial and democratic, Lauren S. Cardon argues, fashion designers and journalists began appropriating the same themes of self-transformation to market new fashion trends.
