The only form of clothing that all people, regardless of gender, race, class or sexuality are likely to wear at some point in their lives, fancy dress is a symbol of both escapism and protest; it stands for a vision of fantasy and fun, while also confronting the reality of cultural stereotypes. Exploring all the allure, playfulness and daring of dressing up, Carnival to Catwalk takes the reader on a fascinating journey through the global history of fancy dress. Drawing on a treasure-trove of textual and visual resources, the book encompasses Halloween festivities and transvestite clubs, Mardi Gras parades and gatherings at Versailles, revealing how fancy dress has long been used to celebrate as well as to disguise individual identity. Vividly chronicling evidence from the Middle Ages to the modern day, cultural historian Benjamin Wild throws open the historical dressing-up box and demonstrates the enduring appeal of fancy dress, as it becomes an increasingly central part of modern couture and clothing design. Meticulously researched and beautifully illustrated, Carnival to Catwalk is a remarkable resource for scholars, students and costume enthusiasts alike. 606 $aAbbigliamento$xSociologia$3VANC036288$2AR 620 $aGB$dLondon$3VANL000015 676 $a391.009$v22 700 1$aWild$bBenjamin Linley$3VANV146603$0804108 712 02$aBloomsbury$ceditore$3VANV144572 791 02$aBloomsbury Academic$zBloomsbury $3VANV146605 791 02$aBloomsbury Visual Arts$zBloomsbury $3VANV146611 801 $aIT$bSOL$c20240906$gRICA 856 4 $uhttps://www.bloomsburycollections.com/book/carnival-to-catwalk-global-reflections-on-fancy-dress-costume/$zE-book ?
