dc.description.abstract | This paper proposes to explore an aspect of History of Women, previously
silenced by traditional historiography and, at the same time, understand how Fashion
is relevant in Society behavior and beliefs. Scottish jacobite women from the 1745
uprising were silenced by History for a very long time, and just recently began to be
studied. This research study those women, the clothes they wore and how that
demonstrated their strong connection with their culture. Scottish indumentary and its
History also have an important role in this research. Furthermore, the fashion brand
Alexander McQueen is analyzed, and its history reviewed, serving as a parameter for
a Fashion Collection, given its connection with the approached subjects. A
combination between the Inductive and Dialectic Methods has been used as
scientific method. The development of the Fashion Collection was undertaking using
the concepts of Strategic Design. This study sought to draw a panorama about
revolutionary Scottish women of the period, despite significant gaps in the literature
about this theme, thus contributing to Women History. | en |
