An engaging survey from the Middle Ages to the present, presenting
fashion as a complex process that reflects economic, social, and
political changes This engaging volume tells the history of Western
fashion, exploring how and why it has influenced people's
attitudes, actions, and beliefs since the Middle Ages. Back in
Fashion focuses on themes specific to particular periods-such as
the significance of medieval sumptuary laws that limited
expenditure on clothing; the use of black in early modern Europe;
the role of sports on clothing in contemporary times; and the rise
of luxury in the new millennium. Author Giorgio Riello investigates
how fashion has shaped and continues to characterize Western
societies, impacting the lives of millions of people and their
relationship to the economy and politics. Making a masterful case
for why fashion history demands academic consideration on par with
other more traditional histories, Riello presents fashion as a
complex and constantly evolving force that not only reflects but
drives cultural transformation.
