Biography

Ashley Bellet is a professional costume designer and crafts artisan. She is an assistant professor of costume design at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana, and secretary for the United States Institute for Theatre Technology (USITT).

“If you want to revise your learning objectives to focus more on the global majority and less on the evolution of Western fashion, examine how cultural appropriation and racism affect our view of art and design, challenge and question the traditional books and ter­minology, develop an inclusive fashion history curriculum, and shift focus from timelines to concepts, you will find content in this book to help you achieve your goals and interrogate the ways you have been taught to look at the world of cos­tume history and period styles.”

Kristina Tollefson, Theatre Design & Technology, University of Central Florida in Orlando, USA
