Fashion capitals, boutique streets, national traditions and unique regional crafts: geography plays an important role in fashion mythology. New fashion loci, such as epicenter boutiques, pop-up stores and online venues, are multiplying the diversity of consumer experience, building a more complex and personal relationship with the brand customer. This book is the first serious study of the economics of fashion from a geographer's perspective. What is the path that clothes take from factory to closet? What accounts for its social and economic value? In her work, Louise Crewe, Professor in the Faculty of Social Sciences at the University of Nottingham, describes both the attractive, glamorous side of the industry and its "shadow geography" - intricate production chains, exploitation of labor, and encouragement of poaching.
