About the author
VANESSA GERRIE is a lecturer in critical studies at the College of Creative Arts at Massey University Wellington, Aotearoa New Zealand. Her scholarship focuses on art history and theory, visual culture, and media studies, with an emphasis on fashion culture and how it intersects with critical theory.
Summary
Engages the work of four fashion designers - Virgil Abloh, Aitor Throup, Iris Van Herpen and Eckhaus Latta - whose work intersects with other creative disciplines. They do their work in what Vanessa Gerrie calls the metamodern age - the time and place where the polarization between the modern and the postmodern collapses.
