Cultural Diplomacy. How Fashion Is Changing the Global Agenda

In the era of global transformations, fashion not only reflects cultural changes, but also becomes an important tool of cultural diplomacy. Universal canons are being replaced by a new polycentricity: creative projects and fashion collections convey not only the personal visions of their authors, but also the identities and values ​​of entire communities and regions. Fashion weeks are turning into platforms for strategic dialogue and diplomacy, and their participants are becoming ambassadors of culture and conductors of meanings and images of the future. In the BRICS+ countries, creative industries, and fashion in particular, are playing an increasingly important role in economic development and demonstrating global changes.
