Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
This book aims to fill a major gap in fashion writing - between cultural theory and the diverse strands of the industry itself. The contributors draw material from throughout the world, covering such issues as: the relationship between black and non-European cultures to Western fashion; haute couture and street fashion; the ecological concerns of fashion; and the workers within the industry.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
