  • Textiles for Dress 1800-1920
    Draft version only: not the publisher’s typeset P.A. Sykas: Textiles for dress 1800-1920 Textile fabrics are conceived by the manufacturer in terms of their material composition and processes of production, but perceived by the consumer firstly in terms of appearance and handle. Both are deeply involved in the economic and cultural issues behind the wearing of cloth: cost, quality, meaning. We must look from these several perspectives in order to understand the drivers behind the introduction of fabrics to the market, and the collective response to them in the form of fashion. A major preoccupation during our time frame was novelty. On the supply side, novelty gave a competitive edge, stimulated fashion change and accelerated the cycle of consumption. On the demand side, novelty provided pleasure, a way to get noticed, and new social signifiers. But novelty can act in contradictory ways: as an instrument for sustaining a fashion elite by facilitating costly style changes, and as an agent for breaking down fashion barriers by making elite modes more affordable. It can drive fashion both by promoting new looks, and later by acting to make those looks outmoded. During the long nineteenth century, the desire for novelty was supported by the widely accepted philosophical view of progress: that new also implied improved or more advanced, hence that novelty was a reflection of modernity. This chapter examines textiles for dress from 1800 to 1920, a period that completed the changeover from hand-craft to machine production, and through Europe’s imperial ambitions, saw the reversal of East/West trading patterns.

NIGERIA, MFA. ABU, Ph.D. DELSU Chile Oparaocha BA ABU,MFA Uniuyo. Abstract Isi-Agu(meaning Lion Head) isan industrial printed fabric embellished with lion symbol/motifthat has broken social boundaries between the High Culture and Pop Culture fashion.The traditional soft texture Isi-agu cloth was a royal monopoly and an aristocratic dress with a strong sense of the historicityof the Igbo people of South- Eastern Nigeria. Itrepresents the prominent symbol of leadership, strong future, and lion symbol being a vehicle of communication expresses a culturally understood visual language in the Igbo region. However,it has influenced Pop culture fashion due to innovative technology, effective mass media, and cheaper versions that exhibit excellent colour schemes and designs. The study seeks to understand what influenced pop culture fashion trends, their acceptance, design concept, and popularization. The essence is to encouragethe production of cheaperIsi-agu durable fabrics, higher patronage amongst the younger generation, the expression of creativity, and thus innovativeness. The study employsa descriptive research method and library information. It is essential to promotethe fashion and textile industries in Nigeria. Keywords: Isi-agu, lion head, pop

    JOB CREATION AND INCOME GENERATION IN THE CULTURAL AND CREATIVE INDUSTRIES: A CASE STUDY OF THE SHWESHWE SEWING INDUSTRY A half-thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the appropriate degree of MASTERS OF COMMERCE (FINANCIAL MARKETS) OF RHODES UNIVERSITY GRAHAMSTOWN By: AVIWE SIMBONGE MAPUMA 609m1797 Supervisor: PROFESSOR J.D. SNOWBALL January 2019 ABSTRACT Worldwide, there has been a growing realisation of the importance of Cultural and Creative Industries as a driving force for employment creation, income generation and economic growth. Therefore, there is a need in South Africa to study and understand these industries setting, and business environment. Shweshwe is a unique local fabric produced by Da Gama Textiles in the Eastern Cape province of South Africa. This fabric is used by many micro-enterprises as an input to make clothes and other items for traditional cultural celebrations and ceremonies. This study is about the micro-enterprises who use South Africa made textiles (i.e. shweshwe textile) as business input. More specifically, it looks at employment creation and income generation opportunities of the micro-enterprises that use shweshwe textile as an input. These micro-enterprises and shweshwe production are being threatened by the rising influx of cheaper ready-made imported clothes that mimic the shweshwe designs and colours, in some cases, the logo as well. This study also plans to estimate the size and discover the attributes of the micro- enterprises that use shweshwe as an input in their businesses in South Africa, in order to estimate the impact of the counterfeit shweshwe imports on those micro-enterprises.

  • The Kitenge Route: the Algorithms and Aesthetics of African Fabrics
    The Kitenge Route: The algorithms and aesthetics of African fabrics By Christine Mungai I first visited Nigeria in 2009, and one of the first things that struck me as we drove around in Lagos was how festive everyone looked. It was an ordinary weekday, and people were doing ordinary things – selling wares by the roadside, navigating traffic, and just going about their day. But there was something striking about how they looked, and then it hit me – they were wearing what we in East Africa call kitenge or “African fabric”. Montage of African fabric-themed decor at Nyama Mama restaurant, Nairobi I had never seen this in everyday life – to me, kitenge was Sunday best, exclusively worn to church or to weddings, and in fact, often only by women of a certain age. Growing up in middle-class Nairobi, you certainly couldn’t catch me dead in kitenge in my teenage years, or more accurately, as soon as I had the power to resist what my mother insisted dressing me up in. It wasn’t cool. We would make fun of kids at Sunday school whose parents would dress them up in matching kitenges; our aesthetic was very much influenced by 1990s African-American hip-hop – FILA sneakers, denim dungarees (overalls), Nike and FUBU, and midriff-baring crop tops that our parents would disparagingly call “tumbo cuts”. *** In the 1980s and 1990s, many African countries were pressurised to adopt structural adjustment programmes (SAPs) imposed by the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF), which were supposed to fix structural problems in African economies – remove foreign exchange controls, privatise state corporations, and liberalise trade.

  • Cutting and Sewing Brings Africa to the World: Social Justice for Older People
    Cutting and sewing brings Africa to the world: social justice for older people Reineth (CE) Prinsloo Department of Social Work and Criminology University of Pretoria South Africa [email protected] Abstract Older people are marginalized and are often subjected to discrimination and injustice. Yet they have a wealth of experience, wisdom, and skills that they can contribute. This story describes a project where a group of older women made tote bags for a symposium. The story unfolds from initial contact with the group to the bags being taken from Africa to the rest of the world. The reciprocal gratitude and the achievement of social justice, even on a small scale, proves that it is possible to make the world a better place. Keywords: Older people, group work, social enterprise, sewing, craft making, social justice 1 Do we see older people as a marginalized group with no prospects who cannot make any contribution to society? Or do we see the wisdom, experience, skills and resilience when we encounter older people? In 2015 I accompanied a colleague to a community project center with which our university was involved. Being a lecturer who daily interacts with young adults I had my reservations on our way to the project. My preconceived idea was that I would encounter people with failing health, dementia and decreased well-being. And my perceptions were exaggerated by the fact that the older people who we were to meet had low socio-economic living conditions and very little or no monthly income. This would surely have an added negative effect on their aging I thought.
