Fashion as Cultural Translation
«
’Fashion has always been an indicator of the times in which it was created. In Fashion as a Cultural Translation, Calefato shows us that fashion informs itself from the past and will into the future, often in a non-linear manner. Calefato shows us the complexity of the role that fashion plays in society and the interpretations of clothing based on elements such as time, location, culture, technology, communication and global socioeconomics. Through her research, we see fashion as a “living, breathing” medium that evolves and mutates through time, space and style; exhibiting cultural significance beyond the threads that define it.’ —Todd Lynn, Associate Professor, Department of Fashion, Kingston School of Art, UK

Fashion as Cultural Translation is certainly an interesting and philosophical work. The original contribution is the way the author includes external to the body influences such as places as well as time and the individual signs and symbols of dress and body modification. —Sarah Marcketti, Director for the Center for Excellence in Learning and Teaching, Lowa State University, US
