Over the last century there has been a complete transformation of
the fashion system. The unitary top-down fashion cycle has been
replaced by the pulsations of multiple and simultaneous styles,
while the speed of global production and circulation has become
ever faster and more complex. Running in tandem, the development of
artificial fibres has revolutionized the composition of clothing,
and the increased focus on youth, sexuality, and the body has
radically changed its design. From the 1920s flapper dress to
debates over the burkini, fashion has continued to be deeply
involved in society’s larger issues. Drawing on a wealth of
visual, textual and object sources and illustrated with over 100
images, A Cultural History of Dress and Fashion in the Modern Age
presents essays on textiles, production and distribution, the body,
belief, gender and sexuality, status, ethnicity, and visual and
literary representations to illustrate the diversity and cultural
significance of dress and fashion in the period.
