Reviews

Drawing on a lifetime of scholarship, Margaret Maynard uses time to explore the complexity of dress in a whirlwind account across global history, revealing diverse clothing practices from the adorned bodies of ancient times to 3D-printed dress styles of today. * Karen Tranberg Hansen, Northwestern University, USA * Margaret Maynard is a pioneer in global fashion studies and her new book, Dressed in Time, creatively approaches the field with rigor and purpose. Unpacking different notions of temporality in the light of varying cultural relationships, exchanges and memories, this book is an invaluable intervention. Snapshots contained in each chapter of this book provide readers with the perfect companion to interrogate and understand digital resources and archival material. If you've ever pondered how to meet the challenges ahead for fashion studies, this book is for you. * Regina A. Root, College of William & Mary, USA *
