Samenvatting:

With reference to prototypes and designs by graduates of fashion design schools all over the world, this book explores the central question posed by the exhibition project: does international fashion design today still show the influence of culture and socio-ethnology-that is, elements of local significance-or is fashion, like so many other spheres of life, dominated largely by global currents?nThe book also presents a fascinating parade of trends in international fashion design-including work from the renowned fashion schools of London, New York, and Antwerp as well as designs created by representatives of the largely unknown avant-garde from Africa, eastern Europe, Australia/Oceania, South America, and Asia. The contributing authors also discuss new, interactive forms of presentation that could well replace the traditional ideas of clothing on figurines in museum settings.
