Reviews
A major and seminal contribution to highlighting the research of fashion and dress anthropology that is not regarded as a formal subject of its own. * The Journal of Dress History *
The contributions are diverse and interesting, while the sections are comprehensive and relevant ... The reader makes an excellent resource for both those teaching and those learning about anthropology's contribution to the study of dress and fashion. * Dress: Journal of the Costume Society of America *
