The Women of 'Little Paris'
Bloomsbury Visual Arts (Verlag)
978-1-350-29445-5 (ISBN)
Combining archival research with personal archaeology, this interdisciplinary work explores Romania’s reinvention as a modern state, focusing on middle-class women as they lived their lives - walking through the streets, at lavish events, at cafes and clubs, shopping, and working. Analysing largely unseen, unused written and visual texts, The Women of 'Little Paris' encourages exploration of new avenues for research, uniting scholars of Romanian culture, history and fashion and guiding readers through a forgotten, little explored world and, in so doing, adds to our understanding and knowledge of the global image of interwar fashion cultures and the emerging field of Romanian fashion studies.
Sonia-Doris Andras is a postdoctoral fashion researcher, primarily focusing on themes related to fashion, gender, urban cultures and modernity in a Romanian context. She has a PhD from London College of Fashion, University of the Arts London, UK. She is Associate Researcher within the research project The Ethos of Dialogue and Education: Romanian – American Cultural Negotiations (1920-1940) at the “Gheorghe Sincai” Institute for Social Sciences and Humanities in Târgu-Mures, Romania.
