{"product_id":"looking-flash-bronwyn-labrum-9781869403973","title":"Looking Flash: Clothing in Aotearoa New Zealand","description":"\u003cp\u003e Offering a fresh look at the role of clothes in New Zealand history, this reference examines what New Zealanders wear and what they have worn--from the shrinking bathing suit to the black singlet--over the past three centuries, proving that clothing reveals as much as it conceals. The authors show that, despite a reputation for being wary of \"looking flashy,\" New Zealand has not always been a dowdy country. Essays span the clothing of pre-colonial Maori society, marching girls and castaways, and include 18th century heirloom dresses, hand-me-downs, wartime garb, and kilts. There are also extraordinary stories about the fate of a Maori cloak and an Otago farmer's remarkable collection of 1970s high-fashion garments. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bronwyn Labrum\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1869403975\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781869403973\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Auckland University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.54lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 6.60w x 0.60d","brand":"Bronwyn Labrum","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48440083972351,"sku":"9781869403973","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_43181f41-5bc4-42c2-9e7a-6687e2cbb666.jpg?v=1777180299","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/looking-flash-bronwyn-labrum-9781869403973","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
