Borderless Fashion Practice by Vanessa Gerrie

Borderless Fashion Practice by Vanessa Gerrie

Engages the work of four fashion designers - Virgil Abloh, Aitor Throup, Iris Van Herpen and Eckhaus Latta - whose work intersects with other creative disciplines. They do their work in what Vanessa Gerrie calls the metamodern age - the time and place where the polarization between the modern and the postmodern collapses.

"A well-balanced and highly informative readThe first book-length study of metamodernism in fashion, Borderless Fashion Practice makes a significant contribution to our understanding of one of the most important trends in the contemporary fashion industry. Especially commendable is Vanessa Gerrie's diverse choice of designers who, though very different from each other, all illustrate the practice of 'borderless fashion.'"— Graham H. Roberts, author of Consumer Culture, Branding and Identity in the New Russia: From Five-year Plan to 4x4
"Gerrie's concept of "borderless fashion" demonstrates how contemporary fashion practices include key aspects of our society and culture that go far beyond fashion itself."— Patrizia Calefato, author of Fashion as Cultural Translation: Signs, Images, Narratives
