Fashioning the American Man: The Arrow Collar Man, 1907–1931
This essay is about the Arrow Man, one of the most successful advertising images in early twentieth–century America, and a visual representation of the New Man. The Arrow Man was created by a noted artist, J. C. Leyendecker, to sell the Arrow collar, a new version of detachable collars, a wardrobe staple for most US men and all but working–class men in Britain and Europe since the 1840s. The Arrow Man’s story is part of the transformations in mas…

Collars and Consumers: Changing Images of American Manliness and Business
Detachable collars, essential to men’s appearance from the 1840s to the 1920s, have left a lasting legacy: the term ‘white collar’ and the “Arrow Man,” the centerpiece of Arrow collar advertisements from 1907 until 1931. The Arrow Man was the visual representation of the “New Man,” and Arrow collars were preserved in American culture through the lyrics of a 1934 Cole Porter song, “You’re the Top.” Both the Arrow collar and the Arrow Man derived f…
Fashion: An Introduction
From the rise of the Fashion Cafe to the phenomenon of the supermodel, from House of Style to Unzipped, the world of fashion has taken center stage in contemporary culture, for better or for worse. In turn, although the idea of fashion has been in circulation since time immemorial, not until recently has its profound and variegated effects-on economic activity, on social and sexual mores, and on aesthetic and psychological formulations-been fully…
Introduction to Roundtable: What Social History Can Learn from Postmodernism, and Vice Versa?—Or, Social Science Historians and Postmodernists Can Be Friends
Like many other social science historians, since the late 1980s I have reflected on how postmodernist thinkers like Foucault and Derrida are useful for historians. In 1995 I taught a graduate course on the history of social history, and I looked back on the origins of the field through the eyes of my students who were intrigued with postmodernism. I realized that time has crept up on me. I barely noticed that this field that we developed over the…

Domestic Service Revisited: Private Household Workers and Employers in a Shifting Economic Environment
In 1993, Nannygate, one of the many predicaments of the Clinton administration, highlighted a trend that has been many years in the making. Nannygate captured the nation's attention not only because it represented another example of the misuse of economic and political privilege but also because in recent years so many Americans have had first-hand experience employing private household workers

It is held every third year in June at a women's college in the Northeast.
