Notes:
Cultural interpretation of the British fashion industry showing 'how the apparently straightforward and economically driven process of globalizing British fashion is, in fact, far more culturally advanced and socially embedded than has previously been suggested' Explores this in part through the experience of the Mulberry and Paul Smith fashion design and retail businesses that are identified as contrasting 'icons' of the British fashion industry
