Review Establishing Dress History (Studies in Design) / Manchester University Press:This book, the sister publication to The Study of Dress History, is the first to detail the history of the collection, exhibition and museum interpretation of dress of all kinds. It examines the earliest European developments in dress history from the mid sixteenth century onwards, and explains the interest in dress collection and display both privately and in museums in Britain, France, the USA and Eastern Europe. Lou Taylor argues that only when women were permitted to be curators of dress within museums did the collection of all kinds of dress find its proper place in our museums of decorative arts, social history and ethnography. Chapters cover the current debates related to dress collecting in such institutions, including discussion of the return of sacred objects, the place of contemporary fashion within museums and issues of the commodification of collections and displays.

Review Duefte und edle Falcons / Scent and Elegant Flacons / Arnoldsche Verlagsanstalt Gmbh:A cultural history of aromatic natural substances - from unguents for anointment in ancient religious cults to modern aromatherapy - which have been used since the Middle Ages for medical treatment, cosmetics and personal hygiene. Since these substances and pharmaceutical products are, without exception, costly spices, salts, resins, balsalms and oils, the tiny receptacles which held them were beautifully worked. Mini-medicine chests, they were essential possessions of the upper-classes, and, as status sybols, were in demand as fashion acessories and elegant presents. The book surveys nearly 300 of these beautifully worked pieces. Previously unpublished, they are from private collections. All the enchantment of fragrance and the beauty of elegant perfume recptacles which have always been a luxury, yet serve to enhance pysical and mental well-being, delight the reader.

Review Hairstyles and Fashion: A Hairdresser's History of Paris, 1910-1920 (Dress, Body, Culture) / Berg Publishers:The way a society deals with hair speaks volumes about its structures, its wealth, and its values. How is hair arranged? Is it left long or cut short? How often is it washed? Do men and women treat their hair differently and what does this tell us about gender?This stimulating book contains articles written by the Paris hairstylist Emile Long between December 1910 and December 1920 for an English trade journal. Long's purpose in writing was to keep English coiffeurs informed about the goings-on in the world of fashion and hairdressing in France, and especially in Paris. In doing so he has provided us with a personal cultural history of the world's most fashionable city in a period that stretches from the end of the Belle Epoque, through the First World War, and into the opening year of the Roaring Twenties. His investigation of hairstyles and fashion inevitably leads him to a fascinating discussion of important historical issues: the 'true' nature of Woman; the genesis and democratization of fashion; and popular attitudes towards hygiene. With his engaging literary style Long invites us to think about consumer habits and technology, notions of fashion and cleanliness, and changing ideals of femininity and the social order. Students and scholars of history, fashion and French society will enjoy these rich and revealing accounts of what hair means to identity and culture.

Review Clothing as Material Culture / Berg Publishers:In recent years, there has been a spate of books theorizing fashion. Few, however, take on board the artefactual nature of cloth. In contrast, costume historians have looked closely at garments, but have shown less concern with how clothing is informed by social structures. This book fills a major gap by combining these two "camps" through an expressly material culture approach to clothing. In sustained case studies, Küchler and Miller argue that cloth and clothing are living, vibrant parts of culture and the body. From the recycling of cloth in Africa and India and the use of pattern in the Pacific, to the history of "wash and wear" and why women wear the wrong clothes to restaurants, this book shows the considerable advantage gained by seamlessly combining material and social aspects of dress and textiles.
