Co-convened by the Winchester School of Art, the University of Southampton and CREATURE (London Metropolitan University), and supported by Culture Fashion Communication, the University of Bologna, the launch of Global China (2021; vol. 15, issue 7) for Fashion Theory. The Journal of Dress, Body and Culture is a 2-part event with a line-up of discussants to respond to the key themes and ideas raised within the special issue. Edited by Wessie Ling and Simona Segre-Reinach, the publication situates in fashion scholarship and focuses on China. It expands and traverses this field by drawing from a far wider and interdisciplinary model that crosses geographical, cultural, methodological and disciplinary boundaries. Global China addresses key contemporary themes that include but are not limited to sustainability and the creative and cultural industries; ecommerce and cultural privacy; Sino-Italian collaboration; exhibiting Chinese-ness in a European museum; transnational latex circulation and film studies; Sino-African garment production, and fashion law, demonstrating the reach and inclusiveness of both the publication and event.
