Abstract

Abstract In this moment of ecological crisis, the consequences of crisis are unevenly distributed, with those with the least power impacted the most. The fashion industry’s growth, spurred in the past decades by fast fashion and a reliance on growth of petroleum-based fibers, is a contributor to this uneven distribution of ecological consequences. This paper explores fashion and ecology as interconnected transnational systems. It does this with reference to two contexts: the UK and the Gulf state of Bahrain. By exploring positions on environmentalism in the UK and Bahrain, questions around fibers, clothing care and waste, this paper underscores the political urgency and the relational effects of change that span nation states within the fashion sector. Decarbonizing the fashion system requires both localized action and methodologies in addition to political will to work between and across such themes. Transnational perspectives are central to cumulative whole-systems effects.
跨国时尚可持续性:海湾地区与英国之间
在这个生态危机的时刻,危机的后果是不均匀分布的,那些权力最小的人受到的影响最大。在过去几十年里,受快时尚和对石油基纤维增长的依赖推动,时装业的发展是造成这种生态后果分布不均的原因之一。本文探讨时尚和生态作为相互关联的跨国系统。它参照了两种情况:英国和海湾国家巴林。通过探讨英国和巴林的环保立场,围绕纤维、服装护理和废物的问题,本文强调了政治紧迫性和时尚行业跨民族国家变革的相关影响。使时尚系统脱碳既需要本地化的行动和方法,也需要在这些主题之间和跨主题开展工作的政治意愿。跨国视角是累积整体系统效应的核心。

期刊介绍: The importance of studying the body as a site for the deployment of discourses is well-established in a number of disciplines. By contrast, the study of fashion has, until recently, suffered from a lack of critical analysis. Increasingly, however, scholars have recognized the cultural significance of self-fashioning, including not only clothing but also such body alterations as tattooing and piercing. Fashion Theory takes as its starting point a definition of “fashion” as the cultural construction of the embodied identity. It provides an interdisciplinary forum for the rigorous analysis of cultural phenomena ranging from footbinding to fashion advertising.
