"Markets in Fashion focuses on the world of fashion photography in addition to identifying and examining the complex relationship it has with other markets such as advertising, modeling, arts, music and others." "The markets in which these aesthetic industries operate are different from the type of exchange markets depicted by neoclassical economists and as such cannot be analyzed using that mode of analysis. Instead, Patrik Aspers presents the reader with an interdisciplinary approach in which to view these markets, utilizing original research to present an empirical and theoretical overview."--BOOK JACKET.
