Issue: Fashion Industry Fashion Industry
Issue: Fashion Industry Fashion Industry By: Vickie Elmer Pub. Date: January 16, 2017 Access Date: October 1, 2021 DOI: 10.1177/237455680302.n1 Source URL: http://businessresearcher.sagepub.com/sbr-1863-101702-2766972/20170116/fashion-industry ©2021 SAGE Publishing, Inc. 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. -

An Analysis of Media Coverage of First Ladies
FIRST IMPRESSIONS: AN ANALYSIS OF MEDIA COVERAGE OF FIRST LADIES AND THEIR INAUGURAL GOWNS FROM JACKIE KENNEDY IN 1961 TO MICHELLE OBAMA IN 2009 by AMY SULLIVAN DIANNE BRAGG, COMMITTEE CHAIR CHRIS ROBERTS, COMMITTEE CO-CHAIR AMANDA THOMPSON A THESIS Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of Journalism and Creative Media in the Graduate School of The University of Alabama TUSCALOOSA, ALABAMA 2018 Copyright Amy Sullivan 2018 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT The Presidential Inaugural Ball is a special moment for every president’s wife because it is her first official public appearance as first lady of the United States. Historically, the manner in which the first lady presents herself in the way she dresses often contributes to her public image. Scrutiny from the media includes a focus on what she wears to the inauguration, as well as examination and analysis of her inaugural ball gown that evening. The gowns have a tradition of setting the tone for the first lady in the new administration as well as providing glimpses of a first lady’s personality. The gown gives the world a look at her personal style and a glimpse at her potential influence on fashion trends. Most first ladies recognize and understand the expectations of the role and what it means to the public. Some, however, have questioned why their appearance should matter so long as they are true to themselves. In positions of power, though, appearances are important because the media can use fashion as a lens to filter and interpret information to the public. -

Icons of Architecture and Fashion: an Exploration of the Complex

Bibliography, 105 ii Introduction At first glance, the fields of architecture and fashion may appear to be completely unrelated and independent of each other. One field is concerned with the built environment and the other is the driving force behind the clothing industry. Additionally, for many people, the two fields are relevant to only their practitioners, scholars, and enthusiasts. However, architecture and fashion are highly influential modes of creative expression that constantly intersect, drawing inspiration from one another and affecting the daily lives of people throughout the world. Fundamentally, architecture and fashion share the same purpose, that is, to provide shelter and protection for the human body. In this regard, we live in architecture and fashion. The buildings we inhabit and the clothes we wear transcend elements for survival, as an equal, if not greater importance is placed on their aesthetic value. With this aesthetic quality holding such significance, a building or piece of clothing is instilled with meaning, allowing for their other basic functions as means of identity expression. Whether intentional or unintentional, we provide indications about our “personal, political, religious, or cultural”1 identities through our choices for the spaces in which we live and the garments with which we clothe ourselves. -
