Anziehen/Dressed Up!: Transkulturelle Moden/Transcultural Fasion: Querformat. Zeitschrift Für Zeitgenössisches, Kunst, Populärkultur, Heft 6 - Paperback

by Birgit Haehnel (Editor), Alexandra Karentzos (Editor), Jörg Petri (Editor)

What should I put on? Globalization has complicated this question by bringing fashions from different contexts together to coexist. Transcultural fashions are the theme of this sixth issue of Querformat. In Europe, the globally active fashion industry banks on the spectacle surrounding haute couture. Our issue entitled Dressed Up takes another tack, identifying the interrelationships among the body, clothing, and space that throw the political, economic, and technological processes of colonization into sharp relief.
