I was previously professor of Global History and Culture at the University of Warwick. I was trained as an economic historian but I have published on the history of material culture, fashion, design and consumption especially in early modern South Asia and Europe. My books include A Foot in the Past (OUP 2006), Cotton: The Fabric that Made the Modern World (CUP 2013; winner of the World History Association Bentley Prize 2014), Luxury: A Rich History (co-authored with Peter McNeil) (OUP, 2016), and Back in Fashion: Western Fashion from the Middle Ages to the Present (Yale UP, 2020).edit
