Annie Holt identifies the roots of contemporary Euro-American
practices of costume design, in which costumes are an integrated
part of the dramaturgy rather than a reflection of an individual
performer's taste or status. She argues that in the period
1820-1920, as part of the larger project of modernism across the
artistic and cultural field, the functions of "clothing" and
"costume" diverged. Onstage apparel took on a more specific
semiotic task, acting as a fresh channel for the flow of
information between the performer, the literary text, and the
spectator. Modernizing Costume Design traces how five kinds of
artists - directors, performers, writers, couturiers, and painters
- made key contributions to this new model of costume design. Holt
shows that by 1920, costume design shifted in status from craft to
art.
