A captivating journey through the world of gloves, both real and mythical, practical and high fashion.
This beautifully illustrated history delves into the cultural significance of gloves, drawing examples from across the globe. From hand-knitted mittens to exquisitely embroidered confections, and from the three-fingered gloves of medieval shepherds to Bluetooth-enabled examples that function like a mobile phone, the extraordinary variety of gloves is a testament to human ingenuity.
Moreover, the diverse cultural associations attached to gloves are equally remarkable. They have been linked to honor, identity, and status, but also to decadence and deceit.
In this book, author Anne Green explores gloves not only as material objects with their own fascinating history but also as fictional creations in folktales, literature, films, etiquette manuals, paintings, and advertisements.
Looking to the runway, Green also examines their recent resurgence as objects of high fashion.
