I got my masters in Fashion Studies and have a lot of recs!! Adorned in Dreams by Elizabeth Wilson is considered a must read in Fashion Studies. Thinking through Fashion : A Guide to Key Theorists by Agnes Rocamora is a good start for exploring fashion and theory. The Fashioned Body: Fashion, Dress, and Modern Social Theory by Joanne Entwistle is also super useful.

oh wow, thank you so much for all these recs! added!

your degree sounds so cool; is there a specific concentration you did, or is it just one big/general degree overall?

my program was split into two possible concentrations — either editorial or curatorial, and i was focused on curatorial :) other schools had other concentrations though! (like NYU offered a dual degree in fashion history and library studies, and FIT offered a conservation pathway)

Consumptive Chic: A History of Beauty, Fashion, and Disease would be a great book for this list!!
