Books like Fashion history by Linda Welters


Fashion History: A Global View proposes a new perspective on fashion history by challenging the dominant Western European narrative. The book examines neglected geographic regions and historical spaces, exploring how fashion systems emerged worldwide. Through case studies on Central Asian silk trade, indigenous dress of the Americas and Hawaiʻi, Tang Dynasty cosmetics, and sub‑Saharan African stylistic innovation, it discusses innovation, production, consumption, identity formation, and the impacts of colonization. Leveraging archaeological evidence and theoretical developments, the work argues that fashion predates and transcends the fourteenth‑century European court, urging scholars in fashion, anthropology, and cultural studies to adopt a more inclusive, global approach.
