All Rights Reserved. ©2021 SAGE Publishing, Inc. All Rights Reserved. Can it adapt to changing times? Executive Summary The global fashion business is going through a period of intense change and competition, with disruption coming in many colors: global online marketplaces, slower growth, more startups and consumers who now seem bored by what once excited them. Many U.S. shoppers have grown tired of buying Prada and Chanel suits and prefer to spend their money on experiences rather than clothes. Questions about fashion companies’ labor and environmental practices are leading to new policies, although some critics remain unconvinced. Fashion still relies on creativity, innovation and consumer attention, some of which comes from technology and some from celebrities. Here are some key takeaways: High-fashion brands must now compete with “fast fashion,” apparel sold on eBay and vintage sites. Risk factors for fashion companies include China’s growth slowdown, reduced global trade, Brexit, terrorist attacks and erratic commodity prices. Plus-size women are a growing segment of the market, yet critics say designers are ignoring them. Overview José Neves launched Farfetch during the global economic crisis of 2008, drawing more on his background in IT and software than a love of fashion. His idea: Allow small designers and fashion shops to sell their wares worldwide on a single online marketplace. The site will “fetch” fashion from far-off places.

The set design for the 88th annual production, For the Record, called for a massive 11-foot-diameter rotating globe suspended above the stage and wrapped in the masthead of the show’s fictional newspaper, the Chicago Offering. Northwestern’s set, scenery, and paint shops are located in the Virginia Wadsworth Wirtz Center for the Performing Arts, but Waa-Mu is performed in Cahn Auditorium. How to pull off such a planetary transplant? By deflating Earth. The globe began as a plain white (albeit custom-built) inflatable balloon, but after its initial multisection muslin wrap was created (to determine shrinkage), it was deflated, rigged, reinflated, motorized, map-designed, taped for a paint mask, primed, painted, and unpeeled to reveal computer-generated, to-scale continents.

  • Trouble in Paradise

    Trouble in Paradise

    Trouble in Paradise SEQUENCE A FADE IN NIGHT MED. SHOT DOOR OF A HOUSE A cheap residential district. The house has no architectural character; it is not certain where we are. Near the entrance door is a garbage can, full. A dog is nibbling at some of the garbage. We hear whistling, footsteps. A garbage man comes into the picture. He shoos the dog away. Without pause in whistling, he lifts the garbage can and, followed by camera, goes to the end of the block, which is only a few steps. Now we discover we are in Venice. In the background is a major canal and a typical bridge--romantic background. Gondolas are passing. In the foreground at the sidewalk is the garbage gondola, piled high with garbage. The man dumps his load, leaves the empty can on the sidewalk, gets in the gondola, and paddles away with the grace of a gondolier. Now, in a beautiful tenor voice which is quite a contrast to the garbage, he starts singing a passionate Italian love song. LONG SHOT A GONDOLA Two tourists. Husband and wife. They are in a sentimental embrace. In back is the gondolier. Camera follows gondola a few seconds, coming closer. ANOTHER GONDOLA Camera shoots down. Gondola is covered by a typical little canopy, so that gondolier cannot see the passengers. Camera cuts canopy on one side so that we don't see, at first, who is paddling. In the gondola seat is a woman in evening gown, lots of jewels. She lies in the arms of the gondolier.

As described in better detail on the facing page, we have added a simply extraordinary trio of colleagues to the Department’s faculty: Natasha Trethewey (two term Poet Laureate of the U.S. and a Pulitzer Prize winner); Tristram I th th Wolff (specialist in 18 -/19 -Century British literature, Comparative and Transatlantic Romanticisms, and environmental humanities); and, in happy collaboration with the Asian American Studies Program where she holds a joint appointment, Michelle Huang (specialist in contemporary Asian American literature, posthumanism, and feminist science studies). We saw a new degree program, an MFA+MA (in creative writing and English literature), through the long approval process. This program will create new bridges between these two parts of our operations, and we will be conducting the first round of admissions for it this season. The Department also completed a major Self Study and external review process, which was the source of enormous encouragement about our strengths and trajectory and also of new and creative prompts for us to think ourselves and our programs forward, into what will -- soon enough! -- be the middle part of the 21st century. It’s been a very good year for us! Laurie Shannon Franklyn Bliss Snyder Professor of Literature A Word from EGSO As Evanston prepares for winter we would like to take a moment to think back over the year past. We began the 2016-2017 academic year with our annual Fall Collation, during which Department Chair Laurie Shannon welcomed us back and gave us counsel on the importance of monotasking— nurturing the deep concentration necessary to do work well.

Recent, large-scale disasters, including the 2011 Japanese tsunami, 2010 Haiti earthquake, 2009/2010 HlNI pandemic, and Hurricane Katrina in 2005, have collectively impacted the physical health of millions of individuals. Hundreds of thousands died and many more suffered permanent or long-term physical disabilities from these catastrophes. Addressing and preventing these catastrophic effects on communal health and well-being in the future are the focus of emergency planning, preparedness, and response efforts at all levels of government and private sector entities.

    Hunting Flowers: Home and Its Poetic Deceits1 Susan Bradley-Smith I Leaving a Town It Is Important to Go in the Early Morning

    Hunting flowers: home and its poetic deceits1 Susan Bradley-Smith i Leaving a town It is important to go In the early morning Pre-dawn light Touches the harbour Between the houses… It is all and alone his Who shoulders his bag And turns towards the bus-station… from ‘Two Silences’, Rosemary Dobson The knowledge of the harbour of still light between the houses, the homes, the places we have left, has its own haunting constancy, and perhaps this grief of leaving is best rendered in poetry. Rosemary Dobson’s ‘Two Silences’2 lends us an image of stealthy and poetic leave- taking, and presents the person leaving home as best doing so in the silence of pre-dawn – as if there is no other proper way. It is the landscape, ultimately, that witnesses the leaving of home, and it is the memory of such landscape that makes us ache when recalling home. Geography owns us, but we too often deceive it. If we believe that we come from ‘country’, is leaving a denial, a betrayal? Is it possible that the costs of such infidelity might be higher for women? When I went to my first big ‘bus station’ – Kingsford Smith International Airport, Sydney – I could not hear the words of farewell and love being spoken to me, so full was my head with the sounds that I believed I would never hear again: high tide at Bronte beach, baby magpies, the gears of the 378 bus struggling to cope with MacPherson Street, climbing up from the Tasman Sea, ‘the ditch’ between Australia and New Zealand, to Bondi Junction.
