Note(s) : Bibliogr. en fin de chapitre
Color speaks a powerful cultural language, displaying political, sexual, and economic
messages that, throughout history, have shown how we relate to ourselves and our world.
This ground-breaking collection is the first to interrogate how color's manifestation
through fashionable and ceremonial dress has played a significant role in the formation
of society, performing dialogues of social acceptance and exclusion, convention and
subversion. From the use of white in pioneering feminism and the French postwar penchant
for black, to mystical scarlet broadcloth and the transformation of arsenic-laden
green from consumer favorite to sexual deviant, this book shows that color in dress
is never straightforward and is as mutable, nuanced, and varied as color itself. Divided
into four thematic parts - solidarity, power, innovation, and desire - each section
highlights the often violent, emotional, and complex histories of color in dress across
geographical, temporal and cultural boundaries
