Book excerpt: This work examines a trade that covered the backs of sailors and soldiers, that shirted labouring men and skirted working women, that employed legions of needlewomen and supplied retailers with new consumer wares. Garments, once bought, returned again to the marketplace, circulating like a currency and bolstering demand. The agents in this trade included military contractors for clothing, female outworkers and dealers in used clothes. Each was affected by a changing demand for new-styled 'luxuries' and necessities in apparel.
Download or read book Global Textiles and Clothing Trade written by Umair Hafeez Ghori and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2012-04-05 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author presents substantial case studies of the effect of the abolition of quotas on global trade in this sector. Concentrating mainly on China and Pakistan but also examining India, Indonesia, Vietnam, and seven other Asian T&C manufacturing countries, he contrasts post-abolition reality with pre-abolition predictions of the impact of abolishing quotas, and details the continuing distortion caused by tariffs, non-tariff barriers and through trade remedies such as safeguards and anti-dumping. All of the analysis is supported by the judicious use and interpretation of extensive statistics, compelling arguments, and interviews with entrepreneurs and trade officials in Pakistan (as a case study of a country predicted to be a major beneficiary of quota expiry).

Download or read book Vintage Luxury Fashion written by Daniella Ryding and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-03-27 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Providing a critical insight into the growth of the secondhand luxury and vintage fashion industry, this book offers a compendium of business developments from across the globe, including examples from Europe, the Middle East and Asia. The ‘pre-loved or pre-owned’ clothing trade has grown as an economic entity, providing a living for over 100,000 people and creating a desirable and essential clothing source in under-developed economies. By debating and deliberating contemporary cases, the authors illustrate how companies can optimise key managerial activities surrounding product branding, location marketing and supply chain buying. This timely collection is an important read for anyone involved in fashion, but particularly those interested in the retail and marketing perspective of the industry, as it explores an emerging and significant retail format.

Download or read book The Clothing Trades Industry Classic Reprint written by B. W. Poole and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-24 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Clothing Trades Industry This fact arises, not because really excellent tailoring is not carried on by other nations, but from the fact that Americans and Continentals can travel with the least irritating notice if dressed in West End clothes. The best in English tailoring is unobtrusively graceful, and so far has been the monopoly of West End houses with centuries of reputation and association with the dim of the world behind them. The Clothing Trades are not considered to cover hat and cap manufacture, shirt or underwear, blouse or-dressmaking, ties or hosiery, glove making, or boot and shoe manufacture, which although articles of clothing, have by custom come to be recognized as branches of manufacture distinct from that known by custom and common consent as the Clothing Trades. A better and more descriptive term is coming into general use, i.a., The Tailoring Trades Wholesale Clothing and Bespoke Tailoring now being separate sections under the one Tailoring Trades Board. Possibly there is no other trade (or group of trades, which it really is) that has met with so much adverse criticism as has been meted out to this necessary and important staple industry, immortalized by Carlyle and Kingsley. Mankind expresses judgment upon the texture and the craftsmanship with the same freedom as it expresses opinions upon its food and drink. Taste, however, is an instinct, whereas judgment is the outcome of trained observation and experience. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Employment of Women in the Clothing Trade Purely technical trade matters have as far as possible been avoided, but where they have been introduced it has seemed advisable to adopt the rule of employing invariably the terms used by those engaged in the industry itself. This is the only justification for the use of such expressions as pants, edge-baster, over alls-operator, and the like.

Book excerpt: ‘An interesting and important account.’ Daily Telegraph Have you ever stopped and wondered where your jeans came from? Who made them and where? Ever wondered where they end up after you donate them for recycling? Following a pair of jeans, Clothing Poverty takes the reader on a vivid around-the-world tour to reveal how clothes are manufactured and retailed, bringing to light how fast fashion and clothing recycling are interconnected. Andrew Brooks shows how recycled clothes are traded across continents, uncovers how retailers and international charities are embroiled in commodity chains which perpetuate poverty, and exposes the hidden trade networks which transect the globe. Stitching together rich narratives, from Mozambican markets, Nigerian smugglers and Chinese factories to London’s vintage clothing scene, TOMS shoes and Vivienne Westwood’s ethical fashion lines, Brooks uncovers the many hidden sides of fashion.
