Description

Explore the deep connection between human culture and the clothes we wear. This authoritative study by Routledge examines how clothing serves as a visible sign of social status, taste, and attitude across different societies. By looking at both the social and physical aspects of dress, this book provides a comprehensive look at how humans have expressed themselves through appearance. The text traces the evolution of clothing from the earliest historical periods through to the machine age. You will learn how changes in technology and culture directly impact the development of fabrics, decoration, shape, and structure. This volume is particularly useful for those interested in the practical side of fashion history, as it draws on first-hand experience from costume exhibitions to cover essential concepts, methods, and practicalities of the field. Whether you are a student or a researcher, this book offers a clear look at how the history of dress reflects the history of humanity.
