Pese a que no son pocos los trabajos publicados sobre los cambios vestimentarios o Moda ocurridos a lo largo de la historia, ni sobre sus repercusiones sociales y económicas, sí son escasos los que de forma multidisciplinar han abordado ese tema; tal vez porque sobre este asunto esta generalizada la opinion de que se trata de una frivolidad, de un pasatiempo propio de personas desocupadas, especialmente amas de casa, que tienen en el ?hablar de trapos? o en leer la prensa amarilla su mejor quehacer, ya que con esos temas ?triviales? llenan sus tediosas horas de aburrimiento. Sin embargo, esa falta de atencion tambien puede deberse a la dificultad que entraña su propia especificidad: la Moda es efimera en tanto que esta sujeta a los cambios sociales, pues en si misma es un producto social. Es precisamente esto ultimo lo que nos ha llevado a la conclusion de que un conocimiento profundo de lo que conocemos como Moda (?Uso, modo o costumbre que esta en boga durante algun tiempo, o en determinado pais. con especialidad en los trajes, telas y adornos. Entiendase principalmente de los recien introducidos?, DRAE s.v.) solo puede lograrse tras una investigacion desde los distintos campos implicados en su nacimiento, desarrollo y desaparicion. Es decir, para llevar a cabo un estudio quasi exhaustivo del fenomeno de la Moda, o si se prefiere del cambio vestimentario, solo puede hacerse con la participacion de un gran numero de especialistas en todas aquellas materias que, de una u otra forma, estan relacionadas con este tema
