Download or read book Fashion as Creative Economy written by Daniel Strutt and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2022-11-29 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fashion is under the spotlight like never before. Activists call for environmental accountability, and wide-ranging debates highlight exploitation across global supply chains and the reliance on unpaid labour. Digital technology undermines traditional fashion companies, while small-scale independent fashion designers provide radical innovations in design and work in more socially inclusive ways. This book contributes to a new sociology of fashion. Focusing on the working lives of independent designers and based on ethnographic research and interviews carried out in London, Berlin and Milan, the authors consider the urban policy regimes in place in these cities. They analyse how these regimes shape the microenterprises and the emerging political economy, as well as the structures needed for designers to flourish. They also develop several key concepts – the ‘milieu of fashion labour’, ‘social fashion’ and ‘fashion diversity’ – and chart the new world of digital fashion-tech and e-commerce. Drawing on lessons from European initiatives and recognizing the capacity of microenterprises and start-ups to determine fashion’s future, the authors call for the industry to be significantly decentralized to ensure more diversity and less exclusivity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: AT HAUSVOGTEIPLATZ Something unique emerged in the heart of Berlin in the nineteenth century: a creative centre for fashion and ready-made clothing. The hundreds of clothing companies that were established here manufactured modern clothing and developed new designs that were sold throughout Germany and the world. This industry reached the height of its success in the 1920s. Freed from their corsets, sophisticated women of the time dressed in the "Berlin chic" sold by Valentin Manheimer, Herrmann Gerson, or the Wertheim department stores. After 1933, however, most Jewish clothing industrialists were confronted with hatred and violence. Many of their companies were "Aryanized" while they themselves were robbed, displaced, and murdered. Under new Aryan management, these companies created conservative clothing that represented an entirely different image of women.

Book excerpt: "On the Traces of German Culture & Identity - A Plea between Kant and Potato Soup" is a book that takes the reader on a journey through the various facets of German culture. I want to share my personal observations, experiences, and reflections on the cultural diversity of Germany and impress upon my readers.

The rich musical culture is also illuminated, from minnesang to modern music genres. I provide insights into the world of German art and architecture and learn with you about the significant history of Germany that has shaped the country and its people. German holidays and festivals are also examined to provide you with an understanding of the cultural celebrations. The beauty and diversity of German nature and the importance of environmental protection are also addressed, as well as the hospitality and unique lifestyle of the Germans. Finally, the book looks into the future of German culture and shows how it could continue to evolve in a globalized world. However, my intention is not only to impart knowledge but also to evoke emotions. Culture is not only intellectually graspable but also something that touches us on a deeper, emotional level. I will try to convey my own feelings and impressions that I have gathered during these mental journeys through Germany. Whether it's a moving monument, the smell of freshly baked bread in a small bakery, or the sound of a traditional folk music group – it is these small moments that make the beauty and uniqueness of German culture tangible. A journey through German culture is always a journey to ourselves. Culture shapes us and forms our identity. It is a reflection of our values, history, and dreams. By engaging with German culture, we can not only better understand the country and its people but also ourselves. However, this book is not only meant to impart knowledge but also to evoke emotions. Culture is not only intellectually graspable but also something that touches us on a deeper, emotional level. This book aims to bring you those feelings and impressions that have accumulated during these journeys through Germany. Often, it is the small moments that allow individuals to experience the beauty and uniqueness of German culture. A journey through German culture is always a journey to ourselves. Culture shapes us and forms our identity. It is a reflection of our values, history, and dreams. By engaging with German culture, we can not only better understand the country and its people but also ourselves. I want to thank you for accompanying me on this journey and hope that this book opens up new perspectives for you and inspires you to delve deeper into German culture. For only through exploring and appreciating cultures can we shape a strong and confident society. During the research for this book, I realized that German culture is a vast and complex field that cannot be captured in a few words. Yet, it is precisely this diversity that makes German culture so unique and exciting. Therefore, I wrote this book with the awareness that such an attempt inherently carries the risk of failure, as the number of cultural facets and historical events and highlights is vast. Nevertheless, I dared to do so in order to evoke personal memories and reflections in my readers or to awaken a new, informed interest. I thank you for accompanying me on this journey and possibly following my plea between Kant and potato soup. Hermann Selchow
