Janet Arnold

Janet Arnold (1932-November 2, 1998) was a British clothing historian, costume designer, teacher, conservator, and author.

She funded the Janet Arnold Award to further in-depth study of Western dress, administered by the Society of Antiquaries of London. "Applicants must be able to demonstrate that they wish to pursue a particular piece of original research based on items of dress or their remains, with a view to eventually disseminating knowledge gained with the award through publication, display, cataloguing, teaching or through practical use in conservation or accurate reproduction."

She was herself awarded the 1998 Sam Wanamaker Prize.
