The generous reception given to Understanding Fashion History when
it was first published in 2004 recognised it as a timely
reappraisal of the role of fashion and its place in society. The
book introduces the reader to the ways fashionable dress has been
defined and studied since the late 17th century, considering the
theories that surround the subject, the assembling and use of
collections of fashion and textiles, the significance of dress and
art, the tension between uniformity of appearance and disguise, and
the purpose of theatrical costume. This book has been read and
recommended by academics, collectors, curators, students and
general readers who want context for the contemporary obsession
with fashion. Constantly in demand, it has become a classic text in
its field.
