It is thrilling to have a book that so clearly details how important the knowledge of existing dress and dress history is to the interpretation of apparel represented in other media, and to the enhanced understanding of works of art. * Jean L. Druesedow, Kent State University Museum, USA * A thorough, thoughtful guide to evaluating the role and impact of clothing in art - useful not only for students and scholars, but also for anyone curious about fashion or art. * Justine De Young, Fashion Institute of Technology, USA * An important, accessible book that beautifully highlights the symbiosis between art and fashion history ... At its core is an approach which is sorely needed in scholarship and beyond: the acknowledgement that appreciation, understanding and enjoyment is best gained through slow, insightful engagement with the past. The tools to achieve all three are presented within these pages. * Lydia Edwards, Author *
