Abstract:
'Slaves of Fashion' explores diverse histories and legacies of empire and colonialism through the history of Indian textiles. It is a global story of conflict, conquest, exploitation, slavery, intercultural exchange and changing fashion. The series connects these themes to the trade in luxury goods during an age of maritime exploration, colonisation and industrialisation all driven by the commercial interests of competing and expanding European imperial powers, from the fifteenth to the mid-twentieth centuries
