Body Style reveals the subcultural body as a site for understanding subcultural identity, resistance, agency, and fashion. Analyzed, theorized, politicized, and sensationalized, the subcultural body functions as a framework where individuals build a sense of self and subcultural identity. Drawing on specific subcultural examples and interviews with members, Body Style explores the subcultural body and its style within global culture.

Body Style is the result of over twelve years of research examining these intersections within specific urban subcultures, including Urban Tribals, Modern Primitives, Punks, Cybers, Industrials, Skaters, and others. Divided into three main sections on subcultural body history, subcultural body identity and subcultural body styles, this book will be of particular interest to students of dress and fashion as well as those coming to subculture from sociology and cultural studies.

Winge, Therèsa M.: - Therèsa M. Winge is a Professor in Apparel and Textile Design at Michigan State University. Winge studies and writes about subcultures in order to deconstruct their visual and material cultures, dress, and narratives to reveal structures of meaning and identity. Her first book Body Style (2012) is about subcultural body modifications, and her second book Costuming Cosplay (2018) focuses on the global fandom of Cosplayers.
