Copenhagen chic: a locational history of Copenhagen fashion

Uittreksel

"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 sutainability 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."--Provided by publisher.
