Description

Fashion ephemera - from catalogues and invitations to press releases - have long been overlooked by the fashion industry and academics alike. This book redresses the balance, putting these objects centre stage and exploring their role in the wider creative practice of contemporary fashion designers.

By examining unseen and privately circulated fashion ephemera produced by prominent international designers, Fashion Remains reveals hidden networks of collaboration and value creation in the fashion system. The book showcases a unique archive of materials, focusing on Antwerp's avant-garde fashion scene and exploring the potential of these ephemeral objects to evoke knowledge about the fashion industry.

The result is a nuanced understanding of the fashion industry's actors, practices, and ideologies, and how they are reflected in the creative output of its most influential designers. This book offers a fresh perspective on the world of fashion, one that challenges conventional wisdom and invites readers to reconsider their assumptions about the industry.
