The Geographies of FashionConsumption, Space, and Value\nAuthor(s): Louise Crewe\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Bloomsbury Publishing PLC, United Kingdom\nImprint: Bloomsbury Academic\nISBN-13: 9781472589552, 978-1472589552\nSynopsis\nClothes are inherently geographical objects, yet few of us consider the social and economic significance of their journey from design to production to consumption. The Geographies of Fashion is the first in-depth study of fashion economies from a geographers perspective, exploring the complex relationship between our attachment to the clothes we own, love and desire, and their geographic and economic ties.\n\nHow far does a garment physically travel from factory to wardrobe? How do clothes come to have social or economic value and who or what creates it? What are the geographies of fashion and how do they interact with one another? This ground-breaking book powerfully reframes fashion spaces, from the body to the city, digital or virtual space to materi.
