Beskrivning
Filling a gap in Eastern European fashion studies, this book presents middle-class women consuming fashion in the symbolic ‘Little Paris’ of interwar Bucharest, and examines how their material and cultural means supported the city’s modernisation. Combining archival research with personal archaeology, this interdisciplinary work explores Romania’s reinvention as a modern state, focusing on middle-class women as they lived their lives - walking through the streets, at lavish events, at cafes and clubs, shopping, and working. Analysing largely unseen, unused written and visual texts, The Women of 'Little Paris' encourages exploration of new avenues for research, uniting scholars of Romanian culture, history and fashion and guiding readers through a forgotten, little explored world and, in so doing, adds to our understanding and knowledge of the global image of interwar fashion cultures and the emerging field of Romanian fashion studies.
