Abstract
The theme of this paper is the artefacts used for reconstruction of late 19th and early 20th century fashion in Zagreb. It will point out new views, methods of analysis and inevitable comparison to reach the goal of supplementing existing knowledge. Although the sources for understanding fashion history do give many information, they are limited in presenting the greater picture. This paper will try to emphasize the source method analysis and the problems that have to be avoided. In that respect clothing artefacts, historical photographs, fashion magazines, paintings, witty art anecdotes, letters and designs will be analyzed. The necessity of interdisciplinary approach of research will be pointed out to ensure the understanding of fashion as a result of historical, social and art influences.
