Taking a multi-faceted look at a topic of widespread fascination, this
pioneering book presents new research on the intersection of fashion and
politics through incisive essays by the field’s leading voices, including
both renowned and emerging fashion scholars. The texts unpack fashion
between the late 18th century and today as expressions of nationalism,
terrorism, surveillance and individualism, as well as symbols of capitalism.
The book explores the political potential of fashion despite its immutable
status as a commodity, and provides a historical account of the political
nature of dress, such as the fashion of dissent within Mao’s Cultural
Revolution and the Black Panther movement and the ways bodies are
defined by dress: the entanglement of oppression and expression.
Finally, the authors analyse some of the burning contemporary issues in the practice and theory of dress, from the processes of decolonising museum collections to the recent sartorial styles of Europe’s political Left, and to an activist cry, arguing for a new model that would comprise the interaction between textile workers and academia.
