Styling Shanghai is the first book dedicated to exploring the
city's fashion cultures, examining its growing status as one of the
world's foremost fashion cities. From its origins as an
international treaty port in the 19th century, Shanghai has emerged
as a global leader in the production, mediation and consumption of
fashion. This book reveals how the material and imaginative context
of this thriving urban centre has produced vivid interpretations of
fashion as object, image and idea. Bringing together contributions
by a range of leading international fashion historians and
theorists, and drawing on extensive original research, Styling
Shanghai offers an interdisciplinary analysis of the mega-city's
shifting position as a fashion capital. Rooted in collaboration
between leading UK, Australian and Shanghai-based institutions, it
considers the impact of local and global textile manufacturing, the
representation and marketing of 'Shanghai Style', bodies and gender
in the 'Paris of the East', and the challenges of globalization,
commercialization and digital communication in contemporary
Shanghai.
