Cloth That Changed the World: The Art and Fashion of Indian Chintz by Sarah Fee
Recommended by The Fashion and Race Database (itself an excellent reading resource), this book takes an in-depth look at Indian chintz – the vibrant printed fabric that has played a pivotal role in the evolution of fashion. It was incredibly popular and influential, and its history is interwoven with global trade, colonial power, and the industrial revolution. Based on the Royal Ontario Museum’s renowned chintz collection, the book's lush photography also includes contemporary fashion pieces, as well as documenting the revival of traditional craftsmanship.
