This illustrated survey of 600 years of fashion investigates its
cultural and social meanings from medieval Europe to 20th-century
America. It provides a guide to the changes in style and taste, and
challenges existing fashion histories, showing that clothes have
always played a pivotal role in defining a sense of identity and
society, especially when concerned with sexual and body politics.
With a chronological structure, each chapter focuses on both male
and female fashion of a specific period, covering its fascinating
developments. It discusses: androgynous dressing; body piercing;
fabrics, clothing and the rise of city life; dress, and the
changing shape of the human body; controversies surrounding
trousers and leg wear for both men and women; exposure of flesh;
fashion and social status; and the dissemination of fashion through
travel, film, magazines and catwalk shows. -- .
