Hosszú leírás:

The New Latin American Fashion Reader invites readers to engage with key questions and in contemporary debates around decolonization, sustainability, and agency, in the context of Latin American fashion production and design.

With its publication in 2005, The Latin American Fashion Reader established a more diverse and inclusive approach to fashion, bringing about explorations of historical foundations, altered cultural landscapes, and the potential to understand more fully consumption trends. Since then, Latin American fashion's presence on the international stage has grown amidst an urgent need for decolonization, increased representation and sustainability, at moments of political upheaval.

Taking up the story where The Latin American Fashion Reader left off, this multi-authored book allows contributors from the Americas and beyond, many of whom have encountered challenges to their craft and work, to share experiences, ideas, and knowledge.
