Book Synopsis Regulating Style by : Kedron Thomas

Download or read book Regulating Style written by Kedron Thomas and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2016-10-11 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fashion knockoffs are everywhere. Even in the out-of-the-way markets of highland Guatemala, fake branded clothes offer a cheap, stylish alternative for people who cannot afford high-priced originals. Fashion companies have taken notice, ensuring that international trade agreements include stronger intellectual property protections to prevent brand “piracy.” In Regulating Style, Kedron Thomas approaches the fashion industry from the perspective of indigenous Maya people who make and sell knockoffs, asking why they copy and wear popular brands, how they interact with legal frameworks and state institutions that criminalize their livelihood, and what is really at stake for fashion companies in the global regulation of style.
