Modern Fashion Traditions by Angela Jansen
Brand: Bloomsbury Publishing PLC
Product Description
Modern Fashion Traditions questions the dynamics of fashion systems and spaces of consumption outside the West. Too often these fashion systems are studied as a mere and recent result of globalization and Western fashion influences but this book draws on a wide range of nonWestern case studies and analyses their similarities and differences as legitimate fashion systems contesting Eurocentric notions of tradition and modernity continuity versus change and the West versus the Rest. Preconceptions about nonWestern fashion are challenged through diverse case studies from international scholars including streetstyle identity in Bhutan the influence of Ottoman cultural heritage on contemporary Turkish fashion design and an investigation into the origins of the word fashion in Chinese. Negotiating tradition foreign influences and the contemporary global dominance of Western fashion cities Modern Fashion Traditions will give readers a clearer understanding of nonWestern fashion identities in the present. Accessibly written this groundbreaking text makes an essential contribution to the study of nonWestern fashion and will be an important resource for students of fashion history and theory anthropology and cultural studies.show more
