The valuing of old clothes as "vintage" and the recollection of the
sartorial past, whether through second-hand consumption or the
wearing of new old-fashioned clothes, has become a widespread
phenomenon. This book illuminates sartorial and bodily engagements
with memory and time through the temporal and nostalgic potency of
fashion, and what this means for contemporary wearers. Based on
in-depth ethnographic research including participant observation
and interviews with sixties enthusiasts in Germany, who relocate
British mod style into the twenty-first century, Jenss examines the
practices and experiences that are part of the sartorial
remembering of "the sixties," from hunting flea markets and eBay,
to the affect of material and mediated memories on vintage wearers.
Jenss offers unique insights into the fashioning of time, cultural
memory, and modernity, tracing the history and current appeal of
vintage in fashion and youth culture, and asking: what kind of
experiences of temporality and memory are enacted through fashion?
How have evaluations of second-hand clothes shifted in the
twentieth century? Fashioning Memory provides a unique insight into
the diverse use of fashion as a memory mode and asks how style is
remembered, performed, transformed, and reinvested across time,
place, and generation.
