Biography
Susan Marshall is a costume designer, adjunct professor of Twentieth Century Fashion at FIT in Milan, Politecnico di Milano and lecturer in costume design at AFOL Moda Milan. Insubordinate Costume is based on her doctoral research at Goldsmiths University of London, which explored the pivotal role of costume in performance and the fundamental importance of play in the performers’ creative approach to the costumes.
"Comprehensive, richly illustrated, and intellectually engaging, this book will appeal to costume designers, choreographers, and performance artists alike. It not only celebrates the artistry of costume but also challenges readers to reconsider its potential as a form of spatial, material, and performative innovation."
K. Wagner, Western Michigan University, USA
