Territories of Fashion: Consumption, Space, and Value

Territories of Fashion: Consumption, Space, and Value

Fashion capitals, boutique streets, national traditions, and unique regional crafts: geography plays an important role in fashion mythology. New fashion loci, such as boutique "epicenters", pop-up stores, and online platforms, multiply the diversity of consumer experience, building more complex and... personal relationships with brand customers. This book is the first serious study of fashion economics from a geographer's perspective. What journey does clothing take from the factory to the wardrobe? What determines its social and economic value? In her work, Louise Crew, a professor in the School of Social Sciences at the University of Nottingham, discusses both the attractive, glamorous side of the industry and its "shadow geography" - intricate production chains, labor exploitation, and encouragement of poaching.
