The Fabric of Cultures: Fashion, Identity and Globalization

Advising

Fashion is both public and private, material and symbolic, always caught within lived experience and providing a useful tool with which to study culture and history.

The Fabric of Cultures examines fashion as both a manufacturing and a culture industry that shapes the identities of nations and cities. Employing a cross-cultural perspective within a global framework, the collection investigates local and global economies, cultures, and identities. The book breaks new ground in offering a wide spectrum of case studies which focus on a range of geographical spaces and places, from global fashion capitals, such as New York, to sites less well known for fashion, such as contemporary Greece and the Soviet Union.

Profusely illustrated and including essays from all over the world, The Fabric of Cultures provides a comprehensive survey of the latest interdisciplinary scholarship on fashion, identity, and globalization. View this publication.
