An absolutely absorbing resource ... I never tired of discovering many of the numerous and fascinating facts, contained within. It was a joy!

Reference Reviews
This work is arguably the new benchmark in its field ... the set is magnificent ... Essential for larger public libraries and academic institutions; appropriate for students of cultural, social, artistic, and anthropological studies. [starred status]

Library Journal
This is a valuable resource for anyone interested in fashion and dress but particularly useful for students in anthropology, art history, cultural studies, museum studies, and, or course, fashion and textiles. It is recommended for undergraduate and graduate institutions with majors in these areas plus large public libraries. [starred status]

Booklist
Its clever global organisation and near flawless presentation make it less at home in an old library and more shown off in open plan furniture. A must for the man who has everything!

Gay Times
2009 Library Journal Reference Supplement 'Editor's Pick' for New & Forthcoming Reference

Library Journal
After more than five years of meticulous fieldwork, extensive travel, writing, and more writing, [Eicher's] team produced a document that gives every corner of the globe equal scholarly representation. The encyclopedia is a brilliant resource ... more comprehensive than any history of dress or study of fashion on the shelf. It was created to be a record - the fairest of them all.
