Author: Claudia Banz (ed.)Long, short, loose or tailored – for 3,000 years, pants have been as much of a societal staple as a cultural flashpoint. This publication, released on the occasion of an exhibition at the Weltmuseum Wien, takes readers on a journey through 3,000 years of trousers history. Through a Z-bound selection of 70 examples, Barbara Vinken weaves a sartorial narrative from the primitive trousers of the Bronze Age to the slacks worn by “rebellious” women in pursuit of equality.ISBN 9783753308135.
