Summary/Abstract: Nadezhda Stoyanova’s monograph “Embellishments and Grimaces” looks into the sophisticated relationship between modernity and fashion in terms of people living during the the 1920s and 1930s of 20th century. Exploring a wide range of trends in a number of fields, including fashion trends, trends in social activities and cultural trends, the author presents the concept of ephemerality as the main perceptual mechanism of the “heroes of modern life”.
