Winge, Indiana University (from 1st edition) * An invaluable resource that covers Fashion Studies' range of disciplines and approaches, The Fashion Reader will invigorate the growing field of fashion. * Patrik Aspers, Stockholm University (from 1st edition) * This is a useful starting point that demonstrates the richness of the subject, indicates the diverse themes to be explored, and the variety of approaches it is possible to take in examining both contemporary and historical fashion. * Costume, Vol 42, 2008 (from 1st edition) * This wide-ranging volume engages with issues of fashion, broadly conceived, from the historical through the theoretical to politics and business. -- Beverly Lemire, University of Alberta * Winterthur Portfolio *
