Reviews

A beautiful and informative primer on why materiality matters. Both everyday and extraordinary fashions become legible under Ingrid Mida’s guidance, opening new possibilities for research. * Annette Becker, Curator and Director of the Texas Fashion Collection, University of North Texas, US * Thought-provoking… engaging and accessible… I look forward to using this inspiring book when introducing students to the study of fashion objects. * Bethan Bide, Lecturer in Fashion History, University of York, UK * Teaches students to see the beauty in rips and stains, construction and cut. It takes us deep into the guts of garments, and guides students to tease out the tales our clothes can tell. * Serena Dyer, Associate Professor, History of Fashion and Material Culture, De Montfort University, UK and author of Material Lives * An invaluable resource for students and specialists and a timely addition to the canon of dress history. * Vicky Haddock, Project Assistant Curator, Historic Royal Palaces and Lecturer, University of Brighton, UK *
