The 20th Century was a fastpaced race into modernizationbut how did it affect what we wear? From revolutionary politics to the new machine age, from war and depression to growth and prosperity, 20thCentury Dress in the United States shows how fashion goes handinhand with history. The authors examine American dress from 1898 to 2004 and find innovation at every turn. Diversity and complexity are key: far from the fashion stereotypes embodied by popular ideas of the Twenties or the Sixtiesperiods noted for their youthful upheaval and influencewe see how every era has its conformists and rebels, from the Arrow Collar Man and the Gibson Girl to flappers, bellbottomclad hippies, and Jackie Kennedy. Each chapter explores the social, cultural, economic, artistic, and technological themes that shape fashion in both festive and everyday clothing. Changes in retailing and manufacturing are also examined, from the sweatshops of yesterday to the Internet shopping of today. From high fashion to low, glitz to grunge, this vivid and comprehensive book explains what we wear on our backsand why.
