Book Description

Fashion History: A Global View rewrites the history of fashion from a truly global perspective, challenging the long-standing Eurocentric narrative that has traditionally positioned Western Europe at the center of dress history. The authors argue that fashion is neither exclusive to the West nor born solely in the fourteenth-century European court, but rather a social and cultural phenomenon that has developed across diverse cultures throughout the world.

Through cross-cultural comparison and a wide range of case studies, the book proposes a more inclusive and expansive framework for understanding fashion history. It examines key issues shaping fashion systems, including innovation, production and consumption, identity formation, and the impact of colonialism on dress cultures.

Drawing on concrete examples, the authors explore how the silk trade in Central Asia facilitated cross-cultural exchange; how Indigenous dress in the Americas and Hawai‘i expressed cultural identity; how cosmetic practices during China’s Tang Dynasty reflected aesthetic values; and how stylistic innovation in sub-Saharan Africa contributed to global fashion narratives.

Incorporating recent archaeological discoveries and theoretical developments, the book demonstrates that fashion history should be understood as a global process that transcends geographical and temporal boundaries, rather than the product of a single civilization or region. By reexamining overlooked historical spaces and cultural contexts, the authors establish a decentralized, cross-cultural analytical framework for fashion scholarship.

Expanding the scope of fashion history and encouraging more inclusive dress narratives, this volume is an essential resource for students and scholars in fashion studies, anthropology, and cultural studies.
