    Abstract

    Much has been written about the transformation of China from a clothing manufacturing site into a fast-rate, fashion-consuming society. However, little investigation has been made into the making of contemporary Chinese fashion, a process that often involves a borderless entanglement from manufacturing to circulation, to retailing and branding. Revealed within this chapter are the tremendous cultural and economic dynamics in Chinese fashion that are at times challenging to articulate.
