New York, Paris, London, Milan, Tokyo. This familiar list of cities
conjures up the image of high fashion. This book examines the
powerful relationship between metropolitan modernity and fashion
culture. The authors look at the significance of certain key sites
in fashion's world order and at transformations in the connections
between key cities. The status of fashion capital has now become a
goal for urban boosters and planners, part of the wider promotion
of the "cultural economy" of major cities. In a rapidly changing
global fashion system new centres like Shanghai are making claims
to join the ranks of Fashion's World Cities. In chapters ranging
from Los Angeles to Moscow and Dakar to Mumbai, Fashion's World
Cities explores the relationship between major metropolises and the
production, consumption and mythologizing of fashion.
