Richard Cockett, Vienna: How the City of Ideas Created the Modern
An entirely new way of looking at the history of fashion through the eyes of artists There have always been important links between art and clothing. Artists have documented the ever-evolving trends in fashion, popularized certain styles of dress, and at times even designed fashions. This is the first book to explore in depth the fascinating points of contact between art and clothing, and in doing so it constructs a new and innovative history of dress in which the artist plays a central role.

A Queer History of Fashion: From the Closet to the Catwalk: Dress
Traces fashions from 1870 to the present along a conceptual, disruptive, and nontraditional timeline of fashion history Fashion not only reflects and represents the spirit of the times, it also changes and develops with the times. About Time takes as its starting point the 1870s--when major developments in the establishment of standard time shifted the measurement of time from the local to the global--and examines the temporal impulses of fashion over 150 years to the present.
