ReviewsA well-balanced and highly informative read. The first book-length study of metamodernism in fashion, Borderless Fashion Practice makes a significant contribution to our understanding of one of the most important trends in the contemporary fashion industry. Especially commendable is Vanessa Gerrie's diverse choice of designers who, though very different from each other, all illustrate the practice of 'borderless fashion.', "Gerrie's concept of "borderless fashion" demonstrates how contemporary fashion practices include key aspects of our society and culture that go far beyond fashion itself."

SynopsisTwenty-first century fashion practice has become increasingly borderless and diverse in the digital era, calling into question the very boundaries that define fashion in the Western cultural context. Borderless Fashion Practice principally engages the work of four fashion designers-Virgil Abloh, Aitor Throup, Iris van Herpen, and Eckhaus Latta-whose work intersects with other creative disciplines such as art, technology, science, architecture, and graphic design. They do their work in what author Vanessa Gerrie calls the metamodern age-the time and place where the polarization between the modern and the postmodern collapses. Used as a framework to understand the current Western cultural Zeitgeist, Gerrie's exploration of the work of contemporary practitioners and theorists finds blurred borders and seeks to blur them further, to the point of erasure., Twenty-first century fashion practice has become increasingly borderless and diverse in the digital era, calling into question the very boundaries that define fashion in the Western cultural context.
