The future of fashion; in essence, this is the theme of the collection of photographs and essays in Global Fashion Local Tradition edited by Jan Brand and José Teunissen.
The topics vary dramatically spanning everything from the global proliferation of the "Fashion Week" concept to exposes on - and catwalk images of - designs by some of the most acclaimed contemporary international designers.
However, throughout this visually and intellectually stimulating volume runs the theme of the interconnectedness of it all, and it offers suggestions as to where this may be leading us.
Sometimes, the combination of cultures and influence is plain to see, such as in the images of John Galliano's extremely colorful and grandiose designs.
His fantastically eclectic runway creations combine everything from Arabic textiles to Russian folk art.
The models fill the foregrounds of the photographs with skirts so complexly layered they could only be supported by the most rigid under-wiring.
The multitude of hues in their clothes and accessories are amplified by the bright and colorful runway lights in the background.
