《关于时间-时尚和期间》通过标志性服装的线性时间线，描述了从1870年至今的时尚演变，每件服装都搭配了一个在时间上往前或往后的替代设计。这些出人意料的搭配，通过形状、主题、材料、图案、技术或装饰相互关联，创造了一个颠覆性的时尚年表，混淆了过去、现在和未来的概念。

弗吉尼亚·伍尔夫担任 "鬼魂旁白"，她的小说节选与之后的每一个搭配都反映了时间的流逝。凭借《时时刻刻》获得普利策小说奖的迈克尔·坎宁安新创作的短篇小说通过一个女人不断变化的时装，叙述了她在150年的时间跨度中一天的生活。学者西奥多·马丁分析了对时间本质的理论回应，强调时间并不仅仅是一系列历史事件。时尚摄影师尼古拉斯·艾伦·科普用令人赞叹的黑白摄影表现了120件时装。这本令人惊叹的书揭示了时尚与线性时间概念的矛盾联系。

Traces fashions from 1870 to the present along a conceptual, disruptive, and nontraditional timeline of fashion history?

About Time: Fashion and Duration traces the evolution of fashion, from 1870 to the present, through a linear timeline of iconic garments, each paired with an alternate design that jumps forward or backward in time. These unexpected pairings, which relate to one another through shape, motif, material, pattern, technique, or decoration, create a disruptive fashion chronology that conflates notions of past, present, and future.

Virginia Woolf serves as “ghost narrator,” and excerpts from her novels reflect on the passage of time with each subsequent pairing. A new short story by Michael Cunningham, winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction for The Hours, recounts a day in the life of a woman over a time span of 150 years through her changing fashions. Scholar Theodore Martin analyzes theoretical responses to the nature of time, underscoring that time is not simply a sequence of historical events. Fashion photographer Nicholas Alan Cope captures 120 fashions with sublime black-and-

white photography. This stunning book reveals fashion’s paradoxical connection to linear notions of time.
