This book – presented in May 2023 and developed by Miguel Angel Gardetti and Patricia Larios-Francia – highlights that fashion, and the growth of fashion, is presented as the manifestation of a process of civilisation, within a capitalist culture (capital understood as material possessions) that has become global and imperialist, of which – in an economic sense – the industry (or the fashion system?) functions as one of its main instruments of exploitation. This book therefore proposes a decolonial look at this problem.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n
