"In the streets and on the page, fashion serves as an index and a vehicle of cultural change and possibility...fashion is not only taken more seriously as an area of scholarly inquiry but literary studies has become more willing to consider its own relationship to popular culture. The time has certainly come for a book such as this, which, for the first time, uncovers fashion’s prominent place in literature, tracing the threads woven throughout its pages." - Suzanne Ferriss, Ph.D. Professor of English, Nova Southeastern University
