Rethinking Fashion Globalization is a timely call to rewrite the
fashion system and push back against Eurocentric dominance within
fashion histories by presenting new models, approaches and
understandings of fashion from critical thinkers at the forefront
of decolonial fashion discourse. This edited collection draws
together original, diverse, and richly reflective critiques of the
fashion system from both established and emerging fashion scholars,
researchers and creative practitioners. Chapters straddle current
calls for decolonization and inclusion, as well as reflections on
de-westernization, post-colonialism, sustainability,
transnationalism, national identities, social activism, global
fashion narratives, diversity, and more. The volume is divided into
three key themes, 'Disruptions in Time and Space', 'Nationalism and
Transnationalism' and 'Global Design Practices'. These themes
re-map fashion's origins, practices and futures, to present
alternatives for reclaiming and rethinking fashion globalization in
the 21st century.
