"Dangerous Designs" tells the story of Asian fashion in the West, from top designers such as Ritu and Catherine Walker to the tiny back-street shops, homeworking businesses, and street fashions, where global markets collide with local and regional trends. It describes how Asian dress has become culturally charged and powerfully coded, defining contemporary cultural and economic borders and debunking negative stereotypes of Asian women as passive and malleable subjects.
