The conference and accompanying exhibition “Fashioning the City: Exploring Fashion Cultures, Structures, and Systems” to be held in London in September 2012 seeks to consider, or perhaps reconsider, the changing and developing dynamics of the fashion industry in the 21^st Century. The staging of this event comes at a highly significant time in the development of the fashion industry as the structures and systems of the industry as we know and recognise them today, based around a network of five ‘’Fashion Capitals’’, namely Paris, London, Milan, New York, and Tokyo, is being increasingly challenged by innovations in technology, processes of manufacturing, and a reconfiguration of what we have come to think of as ‘’Fashion Cities.’’
