Description: "Using a wide range of historical and contemporary materials, Diana Crane demonstrates how the social significance of clothing has been transformed.".

"Crane compares nineteenth-century societies - France, England, and the United States - where social class was the most salient aspect of social identity signified in clothing with late twentieth-century America, where lifestyle, gender, sexual orientation, age, and ethnicity are more meaningful to individuals in constructing their wardrobes."--BOOK JACKET.
