Susan J.Vincent is an honorary visiting fellow at the University of York. Her research interests to date have centred about the cultural history of dress in the early modern period. She is the author of Dressing the Elite: Clothes in Early Modern England (Berg, 2003).
It is always a delight to discover a non-fiction writer who can
write about history with both intelligence and levity. Although
this book is well suited as a textbook, it is an engaging and
thoughtful read for even seasoned fashion veterans.
*Ingrid Mida, Fashion is my Muse*
The Anatomy of Fashion is a glorious, resounding, and opulent "yes"
to the untapped energy of seeing fashion as a cultural artifact of
the utmost intimacy.
