Putting on the Dog
The Animal Origins of What We Wear
by Melissa Kwasny
- 1 Want to read
In Putting on the Dog, Melissa Kwasny explores the age-old relationship between humans and the animals that have provided us with our clothing: leather, wool, silk, feathers, pearls, and fur. From silkworms grown on plantations in Japan and mink farms off Denmark’s western coast to pearl beds in the Sea of Cortés, Kwasny offers firsthand accounts of traditions and manufacturing methods―aboriginal to modern―and descriptions of the marvel and miracle of the clothing itself. What emerges is a fresh look at the cultural history of fashion.
