Fashion History is an integral part of our understanding of the past. It provides a visual marker of societal changes over time. It is also an accessible avenue into the study of history. We all wake up in the morning and put on clothes. We have plans, thoughts, and intentions behind what we choose and what we scorn. This can be a thread that connects us to other people throughout thousands of years of history. In particular it also provides a unique look into women’s history. Many women throughout the past have used clothes and accessories as a representation of political opinions or loyalties, social status, self-expression, and a way to blaze an influential trail in fashion trends.
In today’s special episode, I will be discussing the significance of fashion history in women’s history with Belle, the creator of Silhouettes: A Fashion History Podcast.
