Affiliation: University of Westminster, De Montfort University, and the Royal College of Art
YeSeung Lee is the author of Seamlessness: Making and (Un)knowing in Fashion Practice (2016), the editor of Surface and Apparition: The Immateriality of Modern Surface (2020), and has published widely on fashion, textiles, luxury studies, and cultural studies. Discussions of sustainability in fashion often remain focused on the environmental and ethical dimensions of production and consumption. Sustainable development, however, requires integrated consideration of economic, social, environmental, and cultural factors. Through her teaching and research, YeSeung reconceptualizes fashion as radical media and public pedagogy aimed at cultivating alternative values.
