The book questions Western notions of fashion, investigates the potential of traditional dress cultures to become a «fashion system» (India), looks closer at the new mixture of oriental and occidental perspectives (Bollywood), and asks whether a «third space of fashion» emerges. Orientalizing practices in fashion since the Renaissance are shown as well.
