S1.E4.2 - Fashion Theory and it's Systems


Listen Later

In Part Two of Episode Four, we continue our journey through fashion theory. This time, we shift focus to how Bourdieu’s theories of fashion have inspired theorists like Valerie Steele and Yuniya Kawamura. Sandra and Ebba are diving into the dynamics of power and influence in the fashion world. Listen if you want a briefer understanding of fashion’s connection to identity, society, and change.
