Overview

Fashion has been a catalyst at many of the central events in history, from bringing down dynasties to jailing criminals. Many cultural and political leaders have intuitively understood fashion's centrality to human concerns, its deeply subliminal, theatrical power. This volume gathers forty of the most notorious, myth-making and sartorial symbols of historic times, places and persons. From the fig leaf of Adam and Eve, to Jackie Kennedy's pink suit and pillbox hat, to Mary Queen of Scots execution outfit, it's all here. This is an anthropologist's dream.
