She argues that in the period 1820-1920, as part of the larger project of modernism across the artistic and cultural field, the functions of \"clothing\" and \"costume\" diverged. Onstage apparel took on a more specific semiotic task, acting as a fresh channel for the flow of information between the performer, the literary text, and the spectator.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eModernizing Costume Design\u003c\/em\u003e traces how five kinds of artists - directors, performers, writers, couturiers, and painters - made key contributions to this new model of costume design.
