Fashion, Society and the First World War: International Perspectives

0/5 ( ratings)

The historiography of the Great War has been significantly renewed in recent years, yet, despite its crucial social, economic, and cultural importance, the role that fashion played in shaping wartime experiences and economies between 1914 and 1918 has not yet been addressed. This collection fills the gap in the literature by examining the impact the Great War had on fashion, its industry, and civilians in a transnational context.

With an international, thematic approach, the book discusses the reconfiguration of the fashion industry, wartime style and production, and the reframing of selfhood, gender roles, and national identity through clothing and print culture. Fashion, Society and the First World War provides an extensive overview by leading fashion historians on an industry in the midst of major transformation.
