- Details
This is an innovative work that provides a broad introduction to the complex literature in the fields of fashion studies, dress and fashion history, ranging from object-based to theory-driven analyses. Composed of significant essays that have influenced scholarship in the history of dress and fashion, the book connects a diverse range of approaches and incorporates non-Western literature within studies from Europe and North America. It identifies the history of fashion as a meeting point between the long-standing historical investigation of dress and costume and the more recent development of those sociological and anthropological-inspired studies that have come to be called fashion theory.
