Book Description

Color is never merely a visual element—it is a language charged with cultural power. It conveys political positions, gender ideologies, and economic structures, reflecting throughout history how we understand ourselves, define others, and relate to the world. This groundbreaking scholarly volume offers the first systematic investigation of color’s social role in fashionable and ceremonial dress, revealing how color functions as a symbolic tool of inclusion and exclusion, conformity and subversion.

Through rich historical case studies, the book explores the multiple meanings of color in dress: from white as a symbol of solidarity and equality in early feminist movements, to the aesthetic dominance of black in post-war France; from scarlet cloth associated with religious authority and power, to arsenic-laden green fashions that raised serious health and ethical concerns. These examples demonstrate how the use of color in clothing has been deeply intertwined with emotion, authority, and social structure—its history both turbulent and profound.

Organized into four thematic sections—Solidarity, Power, Innovation, and Desire—the volume spans diverse geographical regions, historical periods, and cultural contexts, tracing the far-reaching influence of color in global dress cultures. Beneath today’s seemingly relaxed and pluralistic attitudes toward color lies a complex chromatic history shaped by war, migration, and economic exchange.

While acknowledging the crucial role of dye technology in the development of fashion, the book also positions color itself as a catalyst for technical innovation and creative experimentation—continuing to inspire designers, artists, and performers. Bringing together cutting-edge research from leading international scholars, this volume combines theoretical depth with interdisciplinary scope, making it essential reading for students and researchers of fashion studies, textile history, design theory, and cultural studies.
