"...entirely new exploration of how we dress, based on that obvious–but often overlooked–foundation: the human body. Examining each part of the body and how it has been dressed allows for historical, geographical and cultural juxtapositions that are not obvious from a more traditional approach to fashion, highlighting both contrasts and continuities. With hundreds of illustrations, from fashion photographs to historical paintings and rarely seen advertisements, this book illuminates facets of dress that will fascinate anyone who wants to learn more about themselves and their fellows by what they wear."
