Introduction -- Naked societies: ocher & feathers -- From Ramses to Hirohito: the pomp of sacred kingship -- Augustus and togas: a well-draped man around town -- Constantine: gold & purple -- Philip the Good: black at court -- Louis XIV: inventing French dress -- Beau Brummell: the blue tailcoat -- Napoleon: uniform victory -- Albert of Saxe-Coburg: basic black -- Edward VII: the modern suit -- From Hitler to Mao: totalitarianism -- JFK: American style -- The UN: going global -- Today: new powers on the rise -- Tomorrow
"This exploration of regalia throughout the world and the ages, and the powerful figures who exemplify each style -- from the ceremonial robes of Chinese emperors to the wigs and stockings of seventeenth-century courtiers to the casual college-inspired blazers and sunglasses of American politicians such as JFK -- provides a fascinating and comprehensive view of the sociological aspect of clothing. If there is truth in the saying 'tell me what you wear and I'll tell you who you are,' then it is also true to add, 'I'll tell you what kind of society you live in'"--Dust jacket
