| Résumé : | Dress in late Ottoman Istanbul presents a new contribution to the decentering of fashion history by focusing on the dress and women of Istanbul, the capital of an empire and an international trading center with a population comprised of multiple ethnicities, races and religions. Over the course of the long nineteenth century, the women of Istanbul gradually transformed their appearance, adopting European dress and new modes of self-fashioning, including photographs. Drawing on a close examination of surviving garments, many of which have never been seen in publications, paintings, photographs, and writing by Ottoman and foreign women, this project reconstructs a complex fashion history, and the dramatic changes that took place in women's lives in this period. Directed at students and specialists across a range of fields, including fashion history, Ottoman studies, women's and gender history, visual culture and photography history, Dress in late Ottoman Istanbul provides a fascinating insight into women's histories, literature and dress practices in the rapidly changing Istanbul. |
