When Broadway Was the Runway explores the influential role of commercial theater in shaping American fashion and consumer culture in the early 20th century. Theater impresarios transformed the stage into a spectacle that showcased contemporary styles, turning actresses into fashion icons and fueling trends that extended beyond the theater. The book examines how theatrical costumes, advertisements, and media coverage contributed to the rise of a mass market for fashion and the cult of celebrity, highlighting the cultural and economic connections between theater and the fashion industry.
