Description

Explore the deep cultural history of fashion with Old Clothes, New Looks: Second-Hand Fashion: v. 35 (Dress, Body, Culture). This volume examines the complex evolution of wearing and trading used clothing, moving from its origins in necessity to its status as a massive global business. While modern designers and consumers show a renewed interest in vintage styles, the practice of passing clothes between different social and economic groups has roots that span centuries.
