Beschreibung
Fashion Week Politics reveals the surprising political undercurrents shaping the global fashion industry. Beyond the runway shows and designer collections, the book uncovers how government policies, trade agreements, and cultural diplomacy influence which designers gain prominence and what trends dominate. Fashion weeks, such as NYFW, PFW, MFW, and LFW, are presented not just as artistic events but as strategic platforms where nations and corporations exert influence. The book delves into the economic impact of fashion weeks, highlighting how these events contribute to host cities and national economies. It also examines how political pressures and social movements drive agendas related to sustainability, diversity, and inclusivity within the fashion industry. By exploring case studies of major fashion weeks and analyzing government funding reports, the book challenges traditional perceptions of fashion as purely aesthetic, revealing it as a field intertwined with political agendas and societal values.
Structured methodically, the book begins by introducing fashion weeks as global phenomena before progressing across chapters to focus on case studies of specific fashion weeks, sustainability, diversity, and inclusivity within fashion. It provides a framework for understanding the future of fashion weeks in an increasingly globalized and politically charged world.
