" Fashion Remains carries out an unprecedented study, which analyzes material that has been overlooked by researchers in the field of fashion studies . Marco Pecorari and his book contribute to the development of fashion studies, and it is a great reading recommendation for those researchers looking for new perspectives within their studies on material culture and fashion. The book enables the reader to realize the potential to explore other artefacts, places, and practices of the fashion system beyond clothing, fashion shows, and museums, such as fashion ephemera and the archive." -- Journal of Dress History "[A]n excellent book. An engaging read by a researcher with a compelling and at times poetic authorial voice, and a worthy addition to any fashion library both personal and institutional. Pecorari invites us as fashion scholars to triangulate our research with an alternative data set, that we may generate yet more nuanced and compelling analyses of our subjects. Using his examination of ephemera through communication theoretical perspectives to advance a valuable new sub-discipline of fashion research." -- Fashion Theory: The Journal of Dress, Body and Culture.
