'Way deeper than your average issue of Vogue. Essential reading for students and fashion historians.' The Guardian 'A fine addition to academic institutions with cultural studies programs; essential for those with special collections in fashionand costume.'

There is much here to interest students of art, history, design, cultural studies, sociology, art history and anthropology.' Times Higher Education Supplement 'Fascinating to serious fashion and anthropology students.' Time Out
