“Third World Fashion: The Past, Present and Future of Costume and Fashion in Mexico” looks at the story of what people have been wearing in the country since before the Spanish discovered America. The text describes the importance of fashion in people’s lives and how garments represent certain aspects of a culture, and even a country. Through the analysis and description of what people have been wearing in the region from the times of Mayans and Aztecs to today, it is easier to understand the society and culture of a specific place. Fashion in Mexico has evolved infinitely since the first textiles were created, but there is still a long way to go.
