摘要：

This article, based on two studies of the fashion industry examines one-of its key institutions, London Fashion Week (LFW). Drawing on the work of Bourdieu, we argue that this event is a materialization of the field of fashion. We examine how LFW renders visible the,boundaries, relational positions, capital and habitus at play in the field, reproducing critical divisions within it. As well as, making visible the field, I LFW is a ceremony of consecration within it that contributes to its reproduction. The central aim of this article is to develop an empirically grounded sense of field, reconciling this macro-structural concept with embodied and situated reality.
