Ling, Wessie (2024) Cross-cultural exchanges and innovation: the making of fashion in Southeast Asia. In: The 3rd International Conference on Innovations in the Social Sciences and Humanities, 26-27 July 2024, Ton Duc Thang University, Vietnam.
This work draws upon the concept of "Global China as Method," as articulated by Ivan Franceschini and Nicolas Loubere (2022), to scrutinise China's transformative role within the contemporary fashion landscape. This core concept encapsulates a multifaceted understanding of China's impact on the global economy and its transformative effects. It highlights China as an interconnecting force within the 21st-century fashion landscape. To illustrate the complex interplay between geopolitics and fashion production, cultural expression within the realm of Chinese capitalism, and the regional dynamics of fashion-making, three case studies focused on Southeast Asian countries, namely Singapore, Vietnam, and Cambodia will be examined. They will provide real-world examples of China's profound influence on the fashion-making of these regions.
