Post-industrial Fashion and the Digital Body

Abstract

At its core fashion is a heavily industrialised manufacturing industry, yet the historic fashion capitals, London, Paris and New York have long since abandoned large-scale manufacture while still educating new designers. Jamer Hunt proposes new modes of ‘Post-Industrial Design’, but are these reflected in contemporary fashion practice? This chapter discusses the work of three emerging designers as a basis from which to explore whether changing digitally informed mindsets and a loss of material experience are bringing new fashion practices closer to Hunt’s vision, and what this might mean for fashion practitioners and industry. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
