Fashion Design

Clothing and Discipline in the Modern World

Edited by Jane Tynan, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, Netherlands & Lisa Godson, National College of Art and Design, Ireland Examining the roles uniform plays in public life and private experience, this collection considers how uniform dress embodies gender, class, sexuality, race, nationality, and belief. Thematic sections on the meaning of uniform in the military, its use in fashion, in the workplace and at leisure, consider what sartorial uniformity means to the history of the body and society. With original contributions from emerging and established academics, Uniform draws attention to a visual and material practice with the power to regulate or disrupt civil society.
