Fashioning Brazil will surely prove useful to more than a few scholars ... Kutesko speaks in a very persuasive voice. * The Journal of Dress History * Fashioning Brazil is a game changer in anthropological-cultural understandings of fashion cultures. By unpicking the representation of Brazilian dress in a century of National Geographic, Kutesko shows how national identity is shaped by dress from inside and outside, by western and non-western influences and gazes. -- Jennifer Craik, Queensland University of Technology, Australia A highly original and deeply researched exploration of the intersections of fashion, nation, and mass media representation that illuminates all three of these elements. This work's implications are far-reaching and interrogate the impact of images and the complexities of identities. -- Victoria L. Rovine, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, USA and author of 'African Fashion, Global Style: Histories, Innovations, and Ideas You Can Wear'
