Text of Note

Since the early nineteenth century Saratoga Springs, New York has been regarded as a preeminent watering-place. While it has not remained steadfastly en vogue, Saratoga has always had a unique relationship to fashion. What has distinguished Saratoga from similar resort communities is the value assigned to both the leisure class and the aspirational class. For the past two centuries, the city has developed a variety of institutions and cultural fixtures that garnered publicity and enormous waves of tourism. Scholars, however, have generally neglected to analyze the city using economic and social class-based theory. Examining Saratoga and the innumerable ways that its visitors engaged in meaningful consumption reveals valuable information about the relationship between resorts, leisure, and fashion.
