Clothes define people. A person's attire, whether it's a sari,
kimono, or business suit, is an essential code to his or her
culture, class, personality, even faith. Founded in 1978, the Kyoto
Costume Institute recognizes the importance of understanding
clothes from sociological, historical, and artistic perspectives.
With one of the world's most extensive clothing collections, the
KCI has amassed a wide range of historical garments, underwear,
shoes, and fashion accessories dating from the 18th century to the
present day. Showcasing the Institute's vast collection, Fashion
History is a fascinating excursion through clothing trends from the
18th to the 20th century. Featuring impeccable photography of
clothing expertly displayed and arranged on custom-made mannequins,
it is a testimony to attire as "an essential manifestation of our
very being" and to the Institute's passion for fashion as a complex
and intricate art form. The authors include some of the smartest
minds and sharpest eyes in fashion studies: Akiko Fukai (Director
and Curator Emeritus of the Kyoto Costume Institute), Tamami Suoh
(Curator of The Kyoto Costume Institute), Miki Iwagami (Lecturer of
fashion history at Bunka Gakuen University, Tokyo), Reiko Koga
(former professor of fashion history at Bunka Gakuen University,
Tokyo), and Rie Nii (Curator of The Kyoto Costume Institute).
