Episode 32: We review two books: Contemporary Indonesian Fashion: Through the Looking Glass by Alessandra Lopez Y Royo, and Fashion and Postcolonial Critique, edited by Elke Gaugele and Monica Titton. We talk about their strengths and weaknesses well as what more can be written from an “insider” perspective. To that end, we highlight three Instagram accounts that do this well: @fashioningtheself, @dumplingcommons and @miromoda_. We also talk about a graduating student, Tess Eu @thelesangproject, who will have an essay on Singaporean Chinese mourning dress and rituals published in @biasjournal's 'Death' issue.
