Through object-based case studies of garments from the ancient past
through to the 21st century, Margaret Maynard reveals the countless
ways the temporal is woven into our attire. From the physical
effects of age on garments to their changing cultural significance,
time and fashion are inextricably linked. Every garment has its own
pace and narrative, and every dress practice is rich with temporal
associations: 'wearing' time in the form wristwatches, marking key
moments in time from marriage to death, 'defying' time with beauty
products, preserving and re-imagining time through vintage, and
concepts of 'timeless' and 'classic' styles. This ground-breaking
book presents a complete rethinking of the study of global fashion
history, revealing the complex nature of changing fashion when
viewed through the lens of time and challenging Eurocentric
approaches such as the periodization of style and the arbitrary
division of 'western' and 'non-western' fashion. Fashion in Time is
essential reading for students and scholars of fashion and dress
history, material culture studies, cultural anthropology,
archaeology and related fields.
