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.
