Abstract
The novelty of the last few years, therefore, is that there is a Chinese fashion. It is new, as every fashion is, and is renewed in its relation with the other fashions in the world. It is not a question of a beginning and even of a “starting over”, as is often said, reducing low-cost and low-quality “made in China” and the “styled in China” concept, in the best of hypotheses, to a curious oxymoron. The particular historical premises of Chinese fashion, however, in an original way mark its process of recognition on the globalized fashion system.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
