- Dr Richard Read, Winthrop Professor in Art History, University of Western Australia,
This original volume is both timely and valuable. It provides essential background and introduction to fashion writing and criticism past and present while providing sound intellectual direction for its future.
- Hazel Clark, Parsons The New School for Design, USA,
<i>Fashion Writing and Criticism</i> provides an introduction to two crucial words – critic and fashion – that are part and parcel of the way we write and think about dress. The authors have explored these keywords with an admirable degree of clarity and in such a way as to be of benefit to fashion scholars and students alike.
- Michael Carter, University of Sydney,
The chronology and the evaluative discussions on the development of criticism and the snapshots on twentieth-century fashion reporting are valuable to the ways in which authors think about existing and future writing on fashion, particularly from a critical rather than purely descriptive perspective.
