Drawing on a wonderfully rich collection of fashion stories, this thought-provoking and timely volume explores the multifarious ways we experience and understand the everyday, challenging limited and narrow notions and prompting us to adopt new perspectives on ‘history from below’. * Rachel Worth, Arts University Bournemouth, UK * This generous – and generative – volume sets a new standard for studies of everyday fashion. Bringing together intriguing insights on specific clothing artefacts with new analytical approaches to fashion history, this book encourages readers to dig through their own closets, or the rails of a local thrift shop, to reveal the many histories that clothing holds. * Marina Moskowitz, University of Wisconsin-Madison, USA *
