Heather Akou is Associate Professor of Fashion Design at Indiana University, USA, and a historian of fashion, dress, and the body. Her work has overlapped with African Studies, Islamic Studies, and American Studies, with recent publications on working-class histories of dress including prison uniforms, political t-shirts, secret society regalia, and work uniforms.
In this well-researched book, Heather Akou shows how work uniforms have always been part of the fashion system … A fascinating look not only at the evolution of work attire, but also at the evolution of work itself in the U.S in the last century. * Einav Rabinovitch-Fox, Case Western Reserve University, USA * A ground-breaking work on the subject of uniforms, image apparel, and workwear … The research is impeccable, the analysis astute, and the insights invaluable. If you want to understand not just the ‘what’ but the ‘why’ behind uniforms across various sectors, this is the definitive read. * Rick Levine, Executive Director, NAUMD *
