Reviews

""Fashion Cultures Revisited constitutes an important contribution to the ever-growing body of fashion and dress literature by providing a conceptually underpinned bird’s-eye view of the subject. Hopefully the editors will pay another visit to the culture of fashion in a decade, as it will not only be fascinating to see what shapes it will take, but also who will analyse these, taking into account the rising number of fashion scholars coming out of an education dedicated to the subject, rather than the many different disciplinary heads that have made the theorization of fashion what it is today, refl ected so well in the present anthology."" - Renate Strauss, Royal College of Art
