More Description
The idea of a fashion capital is a familiar one. Metropolitan centres of style such as New York, London, Paris and Milan are routinely incorporated into the advertising of designer brands and retail outlets. Addressing the interplay between the development of fashion centres across the world and their relationship to consumption and street style in both local and global contexts, the Street Style Series aims to record emerging fashion capitals and their relationship to the physical landscapes of the street. By examining how particular ecologies of fashion are connected to the formation gender, class, and generational identities, this series establishes a new methodology for recording and understanding identity and its connection to style.
In a rapidly changing global fashion system, new centres are emerging as global fashion capitals: Dubai, Mumbai and Shanghai. Havana Street Style is the first book that explores and reveals the relationship between culture, city, and street fashion in Havana by pairing a visual approach (visual ethnography) with critical analysis, inspired by street fashion blogs, magazines and other fashion incubators such as internet sites.
