De tout temps, la mode a traversé les frontières au gré des marchands et des explorateurs qui rapportent tissus, teintures, techniques de tissage, etc. Mais c'est au XXe siècle que sa géographie se structure, autour de Paris d'abord, puis de Milan, Londres et New York qui se livrent une concurrence acharnée, révélatrice du rôle majeur de la mode dans le rayonnement de ces pays.Au tournant du XXIe siècle, l'apparition conjuguée des médias numériques et de la fast fashion engage une mutation complète : de nouveaux leaders, suédois, espagnol et chinois, rebattent les cartes de la production et de la consommation, tandis que nouveaux médias et réseaux sociaux en transforment radicalement la diffusion. Dans le même temps, la clientèle se modifie, bouleversant les manières de créer, de communiquer et de vendre.Sophie Kurkdjian analyse ces différentes évolutions passées et présentes de la mode, devenue phénomène global qui, au-delà de sa quête de créativité et d'innovation, doit repenser tout son système. Rattrapée par la surproduction et la surconsommation, la mode se trouve aujourd'hui aux prises avec des défis sociaux et environnementaux qui conditionnent son avenir.

Et si la seconde main, loin de représenter une réelle alternative à la surconsommation, marchait main dans la main avec la fast fashion ? Sur les 700 000 tonnes de vêtements jetés chaque année en France, seuls 20 % sont en mesure d’être recyclés. Le reste alimente un commerce international de vêtements usagés dont on sait finalement peu de chose. Emmanuelle Durand nous propose de partir de Beyrouth pour détricoter puis remonter le fil de ces flux mondialisés. Des échoppes libanaises jusqu’aux points relais Vinted français en passant par les entrepôts de tri dubaïotes et belges, ce récit vivant et incarné propose de suivre les pérégrinations de quelques habits considérés ici comme des déchets, là comme des objets convoités. Elle invite ainsi le lecteur à faire de l’anthropologie autrement, carnet de terrain en main, à l’arrière d’une voiture et à la table des principaux acteurs de cette enquête qui jette une lumière nouvelle sur nos manières de nous (dés)habiller.
