Remarkably rich and impressively interdisciplinary. . . . Transglobal Fashion Narratives is a welcome edition [sic] to the growing fashion studies literature. The editors are to be applauded for bringing together such a wealth of material, much of it penned by leading scholars in the field. The diversity, both of subject matter and of methodology, is especially impressive. The volume takes us on a captivating journey from Victorian England to post-crisis Japan, from Oscar Wilde to Hello Kitty, from Dawkins to Deleuze, and from paper dresses to facial hair. . . . By the quite compelling way it combines approaches to fashion from both the humanities and the social sciences, it will appeal to scholars working in a variety of disciplines, including film studies, literature studies, cultural studies, gender studies, sociology, anthropology, marketing and economics. It will be required reading for anyone with a serious interest in fashion--or rather in the complex and often contradictory ways in which clothing fashions us, as we consume its images, and retell its stories. -- Film, Fashion & Consumption
