  • Walking Away from the Runway
    Walking Away from the Runway Thesis – One Year Master Textile Manage ment Christina Christodoulou Year: 2015. Thesis id number: 2015.11.06 Acknowledgements I would like to wholeheartedly thank my supervisor David Goldsmith for his guidance and knowledge and most of all for his positive spirit. Also, I would like to thank my parents who really supported me the whole year with their love under any circumstances. Thanks to the designers who accepted to participate in my group discussion and enlightened my thesis with their ideas. Lastly, the paper is dedicated to my favourite uncle that I lost during the master thesis. He was a smiley person who loved to be educated. English title: Walking Away from the Runway Year of publication: 2015 Author/s: Christina Christodoulou Supervisor: David Goldsmith Abstract Fashion shows in a common western context were focused on the garments that were presented. Albeit, the latest decades a shift has been observed from what is presented to how it is presented to the audiences. Particular designers are the leaders of this evolution. Does this phenomenon imply something long term for the fashion system and how fashion is displayed? The purpose of the research is to inquire into the metamorphosis of the runway presentations from the expected status quo to new forms. The compass of this exploration is an observation about fashion shows in retrospect and a focus group discussion with fashion designers master students from the Swedish School of Textiles. It contributes an insight into designers’ approach towards fashion presentations, yet it is used as tool to enable them illustrate their vision on their future presentations.

  • Info Pack Ethical Fashion Hackathon 6Th May 2020 Fashion Weeks
    Fashion Weeks Info pack Ethical Fashion Hackathon 6th May 2020 Fashion Weeks Introduction Fashion weeks expose the enormous flaw at the heart of the fashion industry business model: the cost to people and the planet. In the last 12 months, the fashion show circuit (NY, London, Milan, Paris) emitted 241,000 tonnes of CO2. The equivalent of lighting up Times Square for 58 years. In 2020, is this still justifiable? Huge swathes of our industry flying across the world to view a 12 minute runaway show featuring collections that will mostly be displayed and sold online? These events are moments of both celebration of beauty and art as well as commercial platforms to feed a hungry business model, structured in an organisational form that pays no attention to sustainability. They run one after the other, forcing industry staff to travel frantically from here to there (via land, sea and air), while producers work in emergency-like conditions to have products ready for the shows, causing an imbalance in personal health and mental well being. In the meantime, consumers are bombarded by a mountain of images and faces of influencers, very few of whom acknowledge how these goods are made or their impact on people’s lives and on the natural world. All this while our planet risks extinction. Asks ● For editors and buyers being present in the physical space of a live show is “the experience”. The multisensory journey to see, touch and feel the collections and interacting with designers is paramount. Can digital, AR and VR replace this “experience”? Is it only a generational issue or does it go deeper? ● How could we recreate the “buzz” of fashion weeks --the exclusivity, celebrity, networking i.e.

This paper shifts attention to identifying the sites at which diverse specialisations meet to concentrate and amplify mutually reinforcing circuits of value. These valorisation processes are demonstrated in the case of Australian Fashion Week, an event in which multiple interests converge to synchronize different expressions of fashion ideas, actively construct fashion markets and enhance the value of a diverse range of fashionable commodities.

  • Uniform Policy
    Proactive Dress Code Policy Central, East, & West The Pembroke Pines Charter Schools have a mandatory uniform dress code policy. We believe that students have the right to attend a safe and secure school where the focus is on academics.

Shirts (for students in grades K -5 ) must be tucked in at all times while on campus. 3. Uniform shirts must be navy blue, light blue, hunter green or white. All uniform shirts must have the school logo. Undershirts must be school shirt colors and must be solid with no markings or logos. 4. All clothing should fit properly and b e worn correctly. Revealing clothing or clothing that exposes the torso is not allowed. Denim leggings, jeggings are not allowed. Clothing that exposes the upper thigh including shorts that are rolled up/in are not allowed.
