Box with copies of "The Women of 'Little Paris': Fashion in Interwar Bucharest" by Sonia-Doris Andras (Bloomsbury Visual Arts, 2024).

‘In this interdisciplinary book, Sonia-Doris Andraș analyses an impressive array of visual and written materials, including the archive of her own family. The result is an original portrayal of modernising interwar Romania through the representations and self-representations of its middle-class fashionistas.’ MAGDALENA CRĂCIUN, UNIVERSITY OF BUCHAREST ‘An exemplar of the more nuanced, multifarious and plural Fashion Studies today, The Women of ‘Little Paris’ is remarkable for its consideration of fashion and all the visual arts, as well as popular and urban culture, literature and the press. The work is a fitting memorial to one of the experts in this field, the late Djurdja Bartlett.’ PETER MCNEIL, UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY SYDNEY Analyzing 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. To the historiography of Romania, it adds an analysis of Romanian modern history from a rarely, if ever, employed vantage point. To fashion studies, it offers a new example of how politics and fashion merged in the construction of modern actors on the European periphery, from states and parties to middle classes and fashionable women.
