{"product_id":"9781789146851","title":"Pazazz : The Impact and Resonance of White Clothing by Nina Edwards","description":"Pazazz examines the complex meanings of white clothing through history. Delicate and impractical, white cloth in the past was difficult to obtain, as well as to keep clean. It is a symbol of purity but also of class superiority, privilege and the display of leisure. It represents both the menace of the Ku Klux Klan and the transition of a bride to the married state; it can be the appropriate dress for mourning and for shrouds. White lace is ethereal; straitjackets are tough. White clothing has been a marker of innocence and simplicity for women but also of calculated, high-maintenance fashion; for men, white can be evidence of power. White is a startling absence of colour, the epitome of elegance.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56306786566517,"sku":"9781789146851","price":20.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781789146851.jpg?v=1762801953","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781789146851","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
