The timespan covered by The Routledge History of Fashion and Dress
starts in the nineteenth century, with the aftermath of the
consumers’ revolution, and reaches all the way to the present.
The fashion and garment industries have been international from the
beginning and, as such, this volume looks at the history of fashion
and dress through the lenses of both international and global
history. Because fashion is also a multifaceted subject with human
agency at its core, at the confluence of the material (fabrics,
clothing, dyes, tools, and machines) and the immaterial
(savoir-faire, identities, images, and brands), this volume adopts
a transdisciplinary perspective, opening its pages to researchers
from a variety of complementary fields. The chapters in this volume
are organized based on their relationship to five fields of study:
economics and commerce, politics, business, identities, and
historical sources. Paying particular attention to change, the book
goes beyond the great fashion capitals and well-known fashion
centers and points to the broader geographies of fashion.
Particular geographical areas focus on the emergence of new fashion
systems and business models, whether they be in Sweden, Bangladesh,
or Spain, or on the African continent, considered to be the “new
frontier” of the industry. Covering myriad aspects of the subject
this is the perfect companion for all those interested in history
of dress and fashion in the modern world.
