Fashioning 'Belgische mode'. A Case Study of Belgian Fashion Designers 01/07/2017 - 31/12/2018

Abstract

This research project aims to study Belgian fashion designers from a case study approach, based on a mixed method of literature review and ethnography in order to understand the processes of discursive identity of 'Belgian' fashion theoretically anchored in the academic literature on fashion and national identity (Breward et al. 2002; Skov 2002; Kawamura 2004; Melchior et al. 2011; Segre Reinach 2011; Randisi 2015).
