Description:
From insidious murder weapons to blaze-igniting crinolines, clothing has been the cause of death, disease and madness throughout history, by accident and design. Clothing is designed to protect, shield and comfort us, yet lurking amongst seemingly innocuous garments we find hats laced with mercury, frocks laden with arsenic and literally 'drop-dead gorgeous' gowns.


Fabulously gory and gruesome, Fashion Victims takes the reader on a fascinating journey through the lethal history of women's, men's and children's dress, in myth and reality. Drawing upon surviving fashion objects and numerous visual and textual sources, encompassing louse-ridden military uniforms, accounts of the fiery deaths of Oscar Wilde's half-sisters and dancer Isadora Duncan's accidental strangulation by entangled scarf; the book explores how garments have tormented those who made and wore them, and harmed animals and the environment in the process. Vividly chronicling evidence from Greek mythology to the present day, Matthews David puts everyday apparel under the microscope and unpicks the dark side of fashion.

Fashion Victims is lavishly illustrated with over 125 images and is a remarkable resource for everyone from scholars and students to fashion enthusiasts.

Leans forward with suction cups
Color: A-silver, Color: A-silver
I really like all of the spaces and the metal is good quality. However it leans forward when using the suction cups. I haven’t had that issue with other holders.

Inexpensive organizational tool
Color: A-silver
What do you do with your wet kitchen sponge? You can't store it in a drawer or cabinet because it's wet, and you need to keep it handy because it's your primary kitchen cleaning tool. This caddy offers a practical, low-cost solution. I like the quick, non-permanent suction cup installation as it allows for easy removal if I need to access the entire sink. I may eventually use the adhesive strip once I find the exact location that works best for me, and it's nice to have both options. I also like the additional brackets for the sink strainer and scrubbing brush. Overall, I think this caddy is a very handy and inexpensive solution for managing the inevitable kitchen sink clutter.

Reinvented the wheel
Color: A-silver
Top quality item. The stainless steel is sturdy and attractive. I like the extra bar at the front for drying your dishcloth. Better mounting system.
