Memories of clothing feature prominently in auto/biographies, yet
traditionally they have not been subjected to the same level of
academic scrutiny as other sources. Memories of Dress redresses
this imbalance by bringing auto/biographical memories to the centre
of a new methodology for understanding fashion history, material
culture, and other disciplines. Presenting a comprehensive overview
of theoretical and practice-based approaches, the book invites
readers to explore the relations between clothing and memory
through diverse examples ranging from oral histories of Madchester
men and Hungarian socialist sewing, to a quilt-making
autoethnography into the complexities of American racial heritage
and imagined memories within museum collections. Chapters by
leading and emerging experts consider the ways in which dress is
remembered and the ways that memories and nostalgia in turn
influence everyday dress practices, unpicking the meanings and
motivations—both collective and public, personal and
private—behind the clothes we wear in different times, places and
life stages; and the impact of class, gender, ethnicity, and
disability on material identities. Uniquely weaving personal
recollection with theory, this multidisciplinary book offers new
ways of understanding clothing, material culture, and memory.
