The primary data were 607 photographs of members of an extended family of Yoruba people in Nigeria. The photographs, taken between 1900 and 1974, were divided into three groups corresponding to political periods within the time span. Steps in analyzing the data were (1) list all items worn ; (2) calculate frequency of appearance of each item ; (3) identify associations made with items worn most frequently, i.e., male/female, Western /indigenous; (4) within the three time periods, determine models related to associations found in step 3 ; (5) identify items which appear as alternates or additions to model items ; (6) develop rules of dress relating social roles and statuses of individuals to use of particular forms of dress. Although the method was applied to studying dress of a non-Western population, the techniques have potential for comparative studies of the dress of any culture.Item Bibliography of theses and dissertations on ethnic textiles and dress.(International Textile and Apparel Association, 1993) Cerny, C.; Baizerman, S.; Eicher, J.B.Item Book Review of Allman, Jean, ed., Fashioning Africa: Power and Politics of Dress.(UCLA James S.

A comprehensive definition of dress includes both body modifications and supplements to the body. Properties of these modifications and supplements can be cross-classified with sensory responses they evoke. Because dress functions as an effective means of communication during social interaction, it influences peoples’ establishing identities of themselves and others. An individual’s self incorporates identities based on assigned and achieved positions within social structures, especially those that organize kinship, economic, religious, and political activities. Identities communicated by dress are also influenced by technology and society-wide moral and aesthetic standards for dress. Specific types and properties of dress that communicate identity may change through time in response to economic, demographic, and other societal changes.Item Dress and the public, private and secret self: Revisiting the model.(International Textiles and Apparel Association., 1994) Eicher, J.B.; Miller, K.A.
