Minoan ladies, Scythian warriors, Roman and Sarmatian merchants,
prehistoric weavers, gold sheet figures, Vikings, Medieval saints
and sinners, Renaissance noblemen, Danish peasants, dressmakers and
Hollywood stars appear in the pages of this anthology. This is not
necessarily how they dressed in the past, but how the authors of
this book think they dressed in the past, and why they think so. No
reader of this book will ever look at a reconstructed costume in a
museum or at a historical festival, or watch a film with a historic
theme again without a heightened awareness of how, why, and from
what sources, the costumes were reconstructed. The seventeen
contributors come from a variety of disciplines: archaeologists,
historians, curators with ethnological and anthropological
backgrounds, designers, a weaver, a conservator and a scholar of
fashion in cinema, are all specialists interested in ancient or
historical dress who wish to share their knowledge and expertise
with students, hobby enthusiasts and the general reader. The
anthology is also recommended for use in teaching students at
design schools.
