Volume I surveys the long history of fashion from the ancient world
to c. 1800. The volume seeks to answer fundamental questions on the
origins of fashion, challenging Eurocentric explanations that the
emergence of fashion was a European phenomenon and shows instead
that fashion found early expressions across the globe well before
the age of European colonialism and imperialism. It sheds light on
how fashion was experienced in a multitude of ways depending on
class, gender, and race, and despite geographical distance, fashion
connected populations across the globe. Fashions flowered and were
reseeded, through entanglements of empire, forced and voluntary
migration, evolving racial systems, burgeoning sea travel and
transcontinental systems.
