  • Council of Fashion Designers of America
    Council of Fashion Designers of America ANNUAL REPORT 2017 The mission of the Council of Fashion Designers of America is to strengthen the impact of American fashion in the global economy. B 1 Letter from the Chairwoman, Diane von Furstenberg, and the President and Chief Executive Officer, Steven Kolb In fashion, we respond to the world we live in, a point that was powerfully driven home in 2017. We were excited to see talents with broad cultural backgrounds and political ideas begin to express their experiences and beliefs through their collections. Diversity moved into the spotlight in ways we have never seen before. Designers embraced new approaches to business, from varying show formats to disruptive delivery cycles. It was also the year to make your voices heard, and CFDA listened. We engaged in civic initiatives important to our industry and partnered with Planned Parenthood, the ACLU, and FWD.us. We also relaunched our CFDA Health Initiative with guidelines to help those impacted by sexual assault or other forms of abuse. There’s no going back. In 2018, CFDA is moving ahead at full speed with an increased focus on inclusivity and women in fashion, the latter through an exciting new study with Glamour magazine. We may be a reflection of the world we live in, but we also work hard to make that world a better place. Altruism, after all, never goes out of style. 3 CFDA STRENGTHENED PILLARS WITH MISSION-DRIVEN ACTIONS MEMBERSHIP Fashion Professional Fashion Civic+ Retail Partnership Week + Market Development Supply Chain Philanthropy Opportunities SUSTAINABILITY INDUSTRY ENGAGEMENT SOCIAL AND EDITORIAL MARKETING AND EVENTS KEY UNCHANGED MODIFIED NEW PROVIDED INITIATIVES RELEVANT TO DESIGNERS EMERITUS AT EVERY STAGE OF CAREER DESIGNERS • Board Engagement • Philanthropy and Civic ICONIC Responsibility DESIGNERS • Mentorship • Editorial Visibility • Board Engagement • Fashion Week • Philanthropy and Civic ESTABLISHED Responsibility DESIGNERS • Mentorship • Editorial Visibility • NETWORK.

Major labels such as True Religion, Lucky Brand, Hudson and 7 For All Man- kind built their reputations on that “Made in the USA” ca- chet, which signaled quality and prestige in their premium- denim products. It was a marketing tool that helped manufacturers sell their products to upscale department stores and boutiques around the world catering to a fashionable crowd that didn’t mind paying $200 to $400 for a pair of denim dungarees. But the rise in California and Los Angeles’ minimum wage, a move by blue-jeans owners to beef up profit mar- gins and consumers pulling back on their clothing expense accounts are crushing Los Angeles denim factories.

  • Reconfiguring Human, Nonhuman and Posthuman in Literature and Culture
    Reconfiguring Human, Nonhuman and Posthuman in Literature and Culture The time has come for human cultures to seriously think, to diligently conceptualize, and to earnestly fabulate about all the nonhuman critters we share our world with, and to consider how to strive for more ethi- cal cohabitation. Reconfiguring Human, Nonhuman and Posthuman in Literature and Culture tackles this severe matter within the framework of literary and cultural studies. The emphasis of the inquiry is on the various ways in which actual and fictional nonhumans are reconfigured in contemporary culture – although, as long as the domain of nonhu- manity is carved in the negative space of humanity, addressing these is- sues will inevitably clamor for the reconfiguration of the human as well. Sanna Karkulehto is Professor of Literature at the University of Jyväskylä, Finland. She has published books, articles, and book chapters on the critical study of representations of gender and sexuality, the politics of discourse, and the politics of difference. Her latest co-edited anthology offers theorization on the ethics and politics of reading when studying representations of gender and violence. Aino-Kaisa Koistinen currently works as postdoctoral researcher in Contemporary Culture Studies at the University of Jyväskylä, Finland. Her research interests include feminist theory, posthumanism, crime and speculative fiction, transmediality, and monster studies. Essi Varis hails from the University of Jyväskylä, Finland, where she has worked as a comics scholar and graduate student in Comparative Literature since 2013. She defended her doctoral compilation disserta- tion, Graphic Human Experiments: Frankensteinian Cognitive Logics of Characters in Vertigo Comics and Beyond, in 2019.
