Tārikh-i fishurdah-yi pūshāk va fashin: Persian 1401

A Condensed History of Clothing and Fashion is a classic guide that covers the most important developments in the history of clothing in twelve chapters: from the invention of the needle some forty thousand years ago to the age of jeans, from the weavers of the Neolithic Age to the most prominent names in the fashion industry today. It also discusses the most important political developments affecting the fashion industry of the 21st century, developments that have led to the emergence of new approaches to race and gender issues, mental health, diversity in people's age and body shape, and environmental sustainability. By placing fashion in multiple socio-cultural contexts, this book has played an important role in promoting the history of fashion as a valid academic discipline.
