Description
Bringing together diverse, interdisciplinary and transnational perspectives, this collection showcases the legacy and evolution of the Parisian spirit in fashion, and how it has been adapted and negotiated by different urban contexts globally.
Beginning with the global influence of Parisian fashion, the first half of the book focuses on its unique vocabulary and cultural significance. Contributions explore the impact of Parisian fashion from 1880 to 1940, the role of Vogue Paris in shaping Parisian identity and its name change to Vogue France, and Marthe Bibesco's Noblesse de Robe project.
The second half traces the global circulation of Parisian fashion through case studies from Abidjan, Kinshasa, Bucharest and Shanghai. Analysing Paris's pivotal role as a cultural and artistic centre, The Enduring Influence of Paris Fashion in a Globalized World reveals how the city uniquely balances modern trends with its rich heritage and emphasizes the significant global impact of Paris, blending reverence and postcolonial critique. Blending historical, transnational and postcolonial perspectives, the contributors examine the complex interplay of tradition and modernity, inclusion and exclusion, and the relationships between colonisers and the colonised, making a compelling case case for the continued relevance of Paris fashion today.
