Memories of dress : recollections of material identities /
edited by Alison Slater, Susan Atkin, Elizabeth Kealy-Morris.
- 272 pages : illustrations (black and white) ; 24 cm
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Memories of clothing feature prominently in (auto)biographies, yet traditionally they have not been subjected to the same level of academic scrutiny as other sources. This book redresses this imbalance by bringing (auto)biographical memories to the centre of a new methodology for understanding fashion history, material culture and other disciplines. Presenting a comprehensive overview of theoretical and practice-based approaches, the book invites readers to explore the relations between clothing and memory through diverse examples ranging from gay men's oral history to Hungarian socialist sewing.
