A book about oriental(ist) fashion, about trendiness  in a conservative - if not "fundamentalist" – society. Prof. Vintila Mihailescu, senior editor, Zeta Books Anthropology Series

On 24 October 2007, at 5pm, at the Romanian Peasant Museum, in Bucharest, Zeta Books will officially launch the new Anthropology and Sociology Series and also its first publication, in front of an audience made up of well-known Romanian academics and specialists in the field. Our speakers will include: Vintila Mihailescu (director, The Romanian Peasant Museum), Adina Nanu (writer, professor of art and history of the costume, National Arts University, Bucharest), Raluca Moise-Aldoiu (editor, Zeta Series in Anthropology & Sociology), Paul Balogh (director, Zeta Books).
 
We have decided to open the Anthropology and Sociology Series with a uniquely fascinating book where Alexandru Balasescu explores the world of fashion by examining two apparently opposite places: Paris, the crowned capital of fashion, and Tehran, a city that would hardly make one think of fashion.

Alexandru Balasescu's book will challenge the reader with a new discourse on fashion translated  into the description of anthropology about the difference between two apparently opposite worlds as bridged by the fashionable, a discourse about modernity and secularism, globalization and consumerism, or perhaps a discourse about individualism, intimacy and a permanent search for identities.

If you find yourself curious to know what the book is all about, please attend the Zeta Books event on 24 October 2007 and/or order online (orders@zetabooks.com) the printed & electronic versions.
