"Through lavishly illustrated and richly detailed case studies, Dressing with Purpose introduces readers to individuals who adopt and revitalize dress traditions to articulate who they are, proclaim personal values and group allegiances, strive for sartorial excellence, reflect crticially on the past, and, ultimately, reshape the societies they live in."--Jacket flap.
