Eighteenth-century fashion was cosmopolitan and varied. Whilst the
wildly extravagant and colorful elite fashions parodied in
contemporary satire had significant influence on wider dress
habits, more austere garments produced in darker fabrics also
reflected the ascendancy of a puritan middle class as well as a
more practical approach to dress. With the rise of print culture
and reading publics, fashions were more quickly disseminated and
debated than ever, and the appetite for fashion periodicals went
hand in hand with a preoccupation with the emerging concept of
taste. Richly illustrated with 100 images and drawing on pictorial,
textual and object sources, A Cultural History of Dress and Fashion
in the Age of Enlightenment presents essays on textiles, production
and distribution, the body, belief, gender and sexuality, status,
ethnicity, and visual and literary representations to illustrate
the diversity and cultural significance of dress and fashion in the
period.
