Description

The generous reception given to Understanding Fashion History when it was first published in 2004 recognised it as a timely reappraisal of the role of fashion and its place in society.

The book introduces the reader to the ways fashionable dress has been defined and studied since the late 17th century, considering the theories that surround the subject, the assembling and use of collections of fashion and textiles, the significance of dress and art, the tension between uniformity of appearance and disguise, and the purpose of theatrical costume.

This book has been read and recommended by academics, collectors, curators, students and general readers who want context for the contemporary obsession with fashion.

Constantly in demand, it has become a classic text in its field.
