The Fashion History Reader by Giorgio Riello
Global Perspectives
An edited anthology that brings together primary sources and scholarly essays to trace the development of dress and fashion from early modern times to the present, offering theoretical and methodological tools for studying clothing as a social practice. Organized thematically, it addresses production, consumption, identity, gender, class, empire, global trade, material culture and visual culture, and shows how garments are implicated in economic, technological and cultural transformations. Emphasizing transnational flows and the interaction between local traditions and global industries, the collection illuminates how fashion shapes — and is shaped by — modernity, labor, colonialism and everyday life, making it a useful resource for students and researchers.
