About

Alicia Mihalic holds an MA in Theory and Culture of Fashion from The University of Zagreb, Croatia, where she has lectured and held seminars in ethnology and history of dress and textiles. Her research explores the intersection of dress history, fashion theory, and material culture studies, and establishes connections between clothing and its socio–cultural representation in visual media. She is mainly interested in the phenomenon of nostalgia, trend mechanisms, and the revival of former dress styles through the development of marginal clothing discourses during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Alicia currently serves as the Book Reviews Editor for The Journal of Dress History.
