The preservation of unique materials in fashion, such as rayon, paper, and plastics, poses a continuous challenge for professional curators and collectors. Recognizing problematic fibers, dyes, finishes, and fabric and yarn constructions is essential for maintaining the appearance, minimizing deterioration, and isolating potentially harmful objects. A comprehensive guide to problematic 20th-century textiles, Conservation Concerns in Fashion Collections, provides a manual for identifying, caring for, and reducing damage to seven different categories of objects and textiles. Authored by Kelly L. Reddy-Best and Margaret Ordoñez, this guide is robust in its research and offers textile-specific cleaning and storage advice. It is designed to be an essential reference, with scores of photographs to illustrate each topic.
The guide covers a wide range of issues, including environmental concerns and exhibition problems. It stands apart for its exhaustiveness, offering a singular guide to 20th-century textile and garment queries. The authors combine information from contemporary publications and interviews with textile experts to provide readers with valuable insights into the aging properties of unstable 20th-century apparel, accessories, and textiles.
Conservation Concerns in Fashion Collections is suitable for undergraduate textile students and experienced curators alike, as it considers both the history and preservation of these items. By understanding the challenges and best practices involved in preserving these unique materials, professionals can ensure that they are preserved for future generations to appreciate and study.
