"Providing insight into a broad and expanding range of topics, The Meanings of Dress, 5th Edition examines social, behavioral, and cultural aspects in fashion and dress based on current research and practices. This revised edition responds fully to the current social and fashion trends by including theoretical perspectives of intersectional identities in global landscapes, global fashion and dress, and efforts to decentralize and decolonize the normative Eurocentric approach to fashion and dress studies. This edition includes two brand new chapters: “Decentralizing and Decolonizing Fashion and Dress” and “Social Justice and Human Rights.” New emphasis has been placed on how dress and fashion work as communication, not just “non-verbal” but also explicitly in social media.

Issues on ethics in fashion are incorporated now throughout the book.
