Wight, Dean of The Graduate School. ABSTRACT This dissertation is composed of three essays about style discourse in fashion consumption. For the first chapter I developed a conceptual model to unravel the political process of meaning making between marketers and consumers. In particular, I draw on the concepts in the discourse theory of Laclau and Mouffe to develop the conceptual model to analyze the data of Chapter 2 and 3. The second chapter explores the mainstream discourse of having personal style with respect to fashion. For this second study, data have been collected from the TLC TV series What Not to Wear, an American reality television show that is based on a British Show of the same name.

    Vox Nears Deal for NYC Office at 85 Broad

    Vox nears deal for NYC office at 85 Broad Billion­dollar digital media firm eyeing 70K square feet of space at FiDi tower November 12, 2015 03:15PM By Rich Bockmann and Mark Maurer 1 « PREVIOUS NEXT » Vox Media CEO Jim Bankoff and 85 Broad Street in the Financial District UPDATED, Nov. 13, 9:54 a.m.: Vox Media is closing in on a New York office in the Financial District, according to sources. The online publisher is in advanced discussions to sign a lease for more than 70,000 square feet at 85 Broad Street. Vox, which is headquartered in Washington, D.C., and operates websites such as Curbed, SB Nation and Vox.com, is valued at $1 billion following a $200 million investment from NBCUniversal in August. In New York, it currently occupies more than 21,000 square feet at Princeton International’s 104 West 40th Street. By the end of November, it is expected to commit to two full floors at 85 Broad, a 30­story, 1.1 million­square­foot building that was Goldman Sachs’ headquarters for three decades. Vox would be the latest media company, after Time Inc. and Condé Nast, to move Downtown. CBRE’s Jeff Fischer and JLL’s Steven Rotter are representing Vox, while a JLL team led by Frank Doyle and Jonathan Schifrin are representing the building, which is owned by MetLife and Beacon Capital Partners. The brokers either declined to comment or could not be reached. The lease would bring the building closer to full occupancy. Asking rents in the building are in the $50s and $60s per square foot.
