Dressing a La Turque by Kendra Van Cleave
While French fashion has historically set the bar across the Western world, the cultural influences that inspired it are often obscured. Dressing a la Turque examines the theatrical depictions of Ottoman costumes, or Turkish dress, and demonstrates the French fascination for this foreign culture and its clothing."A very well-researched work with lovely images that help to paint the picture of how Ottoman styles were incorporated into French fashionAs a historic work, it should have lasting appeal to the field." —Casey R. Stannard, associate professor of apparel design, Louisiana State University
