Abstract:

This thesis examines evidence of traditional Maori dress from the mid-seventeenth century to 1820. It focuses on ephemeral and perishable elements of dress which previous research appears to have forgotten, overlooked or dismissed: hairstyle, head adornment, the use of bird and animal skins, and a former method of wearing cloaks. Twentieth century perceptions of traditional Maori dress were mainly derived from selected images published soon after the voyages of Captain Cook. Other available graphic evidence was deemed unreliable because of the perceived influence of late eighteenth century ar

Abstract:

This research examines the identity of Kuwaiti women in the context of dress. Specifically, it investigates the extent to which their lifestyle has been impacted by the recent economic boom stimulated by the oil trade. From a simple life governed by norms and social customs to a sudden influx of wealth and foreign cultural influence, the identity of the typical Kuwaiti woman is being transformed. Nowhere is this transformation more evident than in their dress. Through the lens of fashion, this thesis examines changes in Kuwaiti women’s identity via the traditional thawb over the past 65 years,

Abstract:

Dress whether traditional or contemporary is a visual symbol that communicates the identity of individuals and groups who share a common background and heritage. This study identified that the usage of traditional dress in the Ghanaian society functions as an important medium for social differentiation in terms of identity construction which is communicated through its symbolic meaning. Traditional dress for women, known as "slit and kaba", previously consists of two pieces of cloth and a semi-fitted blouse which requires no standardised sizing and fit requirements but as this dress has underg

Abstract:

Abstract My aim for this paper is to analyse the character Jeeves' obsession with perfect clothing in P. G. Wodehouse's The Inimitable Jeeves (1923). My method has been to study the historical context of the British aristocracy at the time of the first publication of the book in 1923, as well as the previous four decades during which the author grew up and decisive changes in the British class society took place. This paper studies sources on the significance of clothing in general, and examines its importance at the time in particular. For my analysis I have borrowed elements from new his

Abstract:

Якщо кожен із нас запитає себе, яким уявляє національний стрій України, то відразу в спогадах виринуть вишиванки, шаровари, віночки з різнобарвними стрічками, червоні чоботи. Але не все так просто. Національний костюм, перш за все, уособлює національну самосвідомість, етнічну само ідентифікацію, постаючи водночас і могутнім засобом історичного формування, історичного утвердження як у індивідуальній, так і в суспільній свідомості. Будь-який костюм складається протягом століть, тому обов’язково втілює в собі історію нації, її духовні цінності. Як частка народної душі, він має велике істор

Abstract:

This thesis investigates the wedding dress in the 21st century in Sweden. Interviews provided the main material for the analysis of the wedding dress and its connotations. Erving Goffman’s theory on performances in everyday life and Efrat Tsëelon’s thoughts on modesty connected to the female body is used as a theoretical framework in this thesis. The wedding dress is also analyzed as an object, and thoughts from material culture are implemented when discussing the cultural connotations of the dress. The wedding dress is only worn during the wedding ceremony, and it evokes thoughts on performan
