The Places and Spaces of Fashion, 1800-2007 brings together art,
design, fashion, and a much neglected concern for its spatial
realities. The spaces and places of fashion have often been
overlooked in the writing of fashion history and visual culture.
More often than not, however, these environments mitigate, control,
inform, and enhance how fashion is experienced, performed,
consumed, seen, exhibited, purchased, appreciated and of course
displayed. Space, as this volume attempts to illustrate, is itself
a representational strategy on par with and influencing the
visibility and visuality of fashion. Innovative and challenging,
the essays in this volume explore various physical and conceptual
spaces, moving from physical environments to the two-dimensional
with paintings, illustrations, and photographs to chart
similarities, differences, and complex nuanced relationships
between environments, fashion, identities, and visuality. The
volume also navigates various sites (both permanent and temporary)
of production, circulation, exhibition, consumption, and promotion
of fashion that define meaning and knowledge about a culture or
individual by providing for a bond between embodied
consumers/spectators and fashion objects. The Places and Spaces of
Fashion, 1800-2007 is a compelling project with a thematic,
theoretical, and historiographic approach that is at once both
focused yet far-reaching and original in its implications. The
volume engages with questions attending to the 'modern condition'
by seamlessly weaving interdisciplinary discussions of the visual
with material culture to explore the spatial dimension(s) of
fashion. Some of the essays explore new and exciting spaces while
others offer compelling revisionary analyses of relatively known
sources
