Abstract

This article examines the rise of Chinese fashion manufacturing across Africa. By tracing the history of Chinese involvement in Africa's fashion production and reviewing a case study of Chinese garment firms in Newcastle, South Africa, this article attempts to understand the implications of Chinese-funded fashion production in Africa. I argue that the move of fashion production from China to Africa represents a new phase in the migration of global fashion production, and offers an opportunity for examining the gendered dynamics of fashion production in Africa.
