As portraits, private diaries, and estate inventories make clear, elite families of the Italian Renaissance were obsessed with fashion, investing as much as forty percent of their fortunes on clothing. In fact, the most elaborate outfits of the period could cost more than a good-sized farm out in the Mugello.

Civil War fashions at Kent State University Museum help tell story of home front
KENT, Ohio -- In this year filled with commemorations of the start of the Civil War 150 years ago, most of the focus has been on its causes and the terrible consequences. The accounts tell of the politicians and generals, the strategies and battles, the battlefields left to the unimaginable numbers of the dead.

But a terrific exhibit at the Kent State University Museum shows that fashion thrived, at least in the North. More to the point, by taking an approach like Howard Zinn's "A People's History of the United States," it proves that it deserves its place in Civil War scholarship.
"On the Home Front: Civil War Fashions and Domestic Life" offers a fascinating peek into the way life went on in the North, especially Ohio. The exhibit, curated by Sara Hume, brings together clothing, jewelry, photographs, letters and diaries to show how the war changed and influenced fashion for both men and women.
