Abstract
The article considers the issues of apparel, costume, and fashion across an extensive body of literary works known as utopian fiction. These include classic utopias of Thomas More, Tommaso Campanella, and Francis Bacon, as well as socialist novels by Etienne Cabet, Edward Bellamy, William Morris, and Alexander Chayanov, or even science fiction such as the works of Jules Verne, H.G. Wells, Aldous Huxley, and Ivan Yefremov. Regardless of their genre, era, authors’ intents or personal preferences, when utopias are studied through the lens of fashion, dress, clothes production, and etc., they usually reveal theories on perfecting apparel in general, fashion critiques, and clothing reform ideas. Utopian fiction presents often misleading yet partially followed examples, as well as serious futuristic projections and surprisingly precise trendsetting forecasts.
