Clearly written and coherent ... A timely publication that fills a gap in scholarship. It provides opportunities for more nuanced conversations about dress history in China and successfully stakes Shanghai's claim to global fashion recognition.
The Journal of Dress History
A much needed and valuable contribution to a deeper understanding of Chinese fashion in the global arena.
