In doing so, \u003ci\u003eDanger in the Path of Chic\u003c\/i\u003e situates fashion within the very real social, psychological, economic and political traumas of the period.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lucy Moyse Ferreira\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350126284\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350126282\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Visual Arts\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/07\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.20w x 0.80d","brand":"Lucy Moyse Ferreira","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44181400715519,"sku":"9781350126282","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_53f69508-ee16-46c5-a2fe-0d59621ab09c.jpg?v=1690260247","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/danger-in-the-path-of-lucy-moyse-ferreira-9781350126282","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
