Quartz: Wearable Culture

Google’s latest project may be the most widely accessible and comprehensive fashion collection on the planet. All you need to view it is an internet connection.

“We Wear Culture” is a collaboration between Google and more than 180 museums, schools, fashion institutions, and other organizations from all parts of the globe. It’s part of Google’s Arts & Culture platform, which is digitizing the world’s cultural treasures, and functions as a searchable guide to a collective archive of some 30,000 fashion pieces that puts “three millennia of fashion at your fingertips,” Google says.

But it isn’t just a database. Google has worked with curators to create more than 450 exhibits on different topics—say, how the cheongsam changed the way Chinese women dress—making the site an endlessly entertaining, educational portal filled with stunning imagery touching on everything from modern Japanese streetwear to the clothes worn at the court of Versailles.

That's fantastic. It looks like fun for a random ramble, but I hope they will improve navigation so that we can select an era for focus. 

One show I thoroughly recommend in connection with wearing culture is "State of Undress," currently running on the station "Vice" in Canada. It does a fascinating job of deconstructing fashion in the content of sociopolitical and socioeconomic reality in a diverse range of countries. The settings are modern, but history - especially colonial and postcolonial history - are included as factors in the current construction of each locale's approach to fashion.
