Description: The Cambridge Global History of Fashion 2 Volume Hardback Set by Christopher Breward, Beverly Lemire, Giorgio Riello This two-volume set considers fashion and its cross-cultural and multicultural connections as they developed from antiquity to the present, through colonisation, decolonisation and contemporary globalisation. A comprehensive and rich resource for students, scholars and fanatics of fashion. CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Split across two volumes, The Cambridge Global History of Fashion provides timely critical analyses of key topics and themes in the history of fashion, dress, and clothing. It foregrounds the trajectories of material and aesthetic transformation, as well as the thematic commonalities across time and space. Featuring over forty essays from experts across the field, the volumes unveil new perspectives on cultural, social, and economic change, and how these changes were expressed through fashion practice. The first volume presents a tight but comprehensive assessment of fashion from antiquity, through the early modern global era to c. 1800, engaging with colonial and imperial themes, as well as race and gender. The second volume advances the critique of modernity from the nineteenth century through the twenty-first century, providing analyses of the impact globalisation had on contemporary dress. This global perspective stands as a landmark work in the history of fashion. Author Biography Christopher Breward is Director of National Museums Scotland.
