These shifts were not only reflected in but actively shaped by the magazine <em>Her World</em>.</strong></p><p>In Her World, Women and Fashion in Singapore, Nadya Wang uses dress as a lens through which to view fragments of the magazine over 15 years. Advocating for a new and decentred understanding of the evolution of the Singapore woman, Wangs writing also traces the creation of a fashion industry that pivoted from seeking validation from global fashion cities to establishing itself as the lead of a Southeast Asian fashion community.</p><p>Visual analysis of archival materials is combined with oral history interviews to demonstrate how the women of Singapore engaged with local and global ideas, fashion and beauty commodities, and imagery of models and beauty queens in their self-fashioning. Challenging existing understandings of their agency, this book attests to the creativity and adaptability of Singapore women and Singapore fashion designers.</p>...7175106Her World, Women and Fashion in Singapore 1974-198918032003https://www.gandhi.com.mx/her-world--women-and-fashion-in-singapore-1974-1989-9781350465060/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/7180342/image.jpg?v=638846664070900000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20259781350465060_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_<p><strong>Between 1974 and 1989, significant changes were taking place in the lives of Singaporean women and in their local fashion industry.
