Global Perspectives: Dress and Fashion in the 20th and 21st Centuries

Global Perspectives: Dress and Fashion in the 20th and 21st Centuries frames the history of modern and contemporary dress and fashion in a global and diverse context, broadening the traditional dominance placed on European and American ("The West") design by including examples from every continent. Students will explore fashion as a global phenomenon through a series of relevant and connected case studies, and interviews and profiles of prominent fashion practitioners. The text invites readers to reflect on their own experiences and points of view, explore their own location and identity, and develop critical thinking skills to interpret and analyze complex issues such as colonialism, post-colonialism, globalization, and cultural appropriation and how these has affected the perception of modern and contemporary fashion history.
