Copenhagen Chic

Description

Copenhagen has long been celebrated for its unique fashion, design, innovation, and sustainability practices, and yet there has never been a comprehensive  history of Copenhagen fashion and its current innovation and sustainability drive.



This book fills that gap, assembling a multidisciplinary roster of contributors to examine all aspects of Copenhagen fashion and culture. Grounded in a broad context of Danish culture, industry, media, technology, sustainability, and innovation practices within the wider cultural and economic fields of fashion, the book helps us understand what makes Copenhagen unique.

Copenhagen Chic
Urban Chic
Series Editor: Susan Ingram, York University, Toronto, Canada
The Urban Chic series is premised on the fact that a new wave of urban change is afoot. It is a series of locational histories of cities fashion that use unique spaces of specific cities to show the interplay between fashion in its art historical understanding as clothing or dress, on one hand, and fashion more broadly conceived as social change, on the other. Each volume seeks to establish how a city's urban imaginary has evolved in dialogue with the fashion system, and how cultural institutions involving dress, design, and particular looks and styles have informed those imaginaries.
