Dress and fashion are powerful visual means of communicating
ideology, whether political, social or religious. From the
communist values of equality, simplicity and solidarity exemplified
in the Mao suit to the myriad of fashion protests of feminists such
as French revolutionary women's demand to wear trousers, dress can
symbolize ideological orthodoxy as well as revolt. With
contributions from a wide range of international scholars, this
book presents the first scholarly analysis of dress and ideology
through accessible case studies. Chapters are organized
thematically and explore dress in relation to topics including
nation, identity, religion, politics and utopias, across an
impressive chronological reach from antiquity to the present day.
Dress & Ideology will appeal to students and scholars of
fashion, history, sociology, cultural studies, politics and gender
studies.
