Abstract: Clothes are inherently geographical objects, yet few of us consider the social and economic significance of their journey from design to production to consumption. 'The Geographies of Fashion' is an in-depth study of fashion economies from a geographer's perspective, exploring the complex relationship between our attachment to the clothes we own, love and desire, and their geographic and economic ties.
