[PeDAGoG] New article on RED - The rise of the fashion industry in the 20th century

[Pooja Kishinani]

Dear friends,

We have a new article
<https://radicalecologicaldemocracy.org/beauty-fashion-the-rise-of-the-fashion-industry-in-the-20th-century-part-2/>
on REDWeb written by Alessandra Monaco.

This is the second article in a three-part mini-series on beauty and
fashion. The first article
<https://radicalecologicaldemocracy.org/beauty-fashion-confronting-commodification-advancing-alternatives-part-1/>,
which has also been adapted into a comic
<https://vikalpsangam.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Confronting-Beauty-Comic.pdf>
by
Shaunauk Sokey, investigated the meaning and role of ‘beauty’ through
history. In this subsequent piece, Alessandra explains how key events in
the twentieth century such as the two World Wars, the Countercultural
Revolution and the Second Wave Feminist movement of the 1960s have shaped,
influenced, and resisted societal narratives of beauty. The article also
examines how globalisation, neoliberalism, and profit-driven industries
have commodified health and beauty into marketable goods and have led to
the rise of the fast fashion industry.
