Tom’s YSL Update: Rougher Space Puts Focus on Accessories By Anamaria Wilson NEW YORK — One might say Tom Ford is fixated on duality.

So it’s not surprising that his new Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche store is no exception.

    FASHIONING GENDER FASHIONING GENDER: A CASE STUDY OF THE FASHION INDUSTRY BY ALLYSON STOKES, B.A.(H), M.A. A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE DEPARTMENT OF SOCIOLOGY AND THE SCHOOL OF GRADUATE STUDIES OF MCMASTER UNIVERSITY IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY c Copyright by Allyson Stokes, August 2013 All Rights Reserved Doctor of Philosophy (2013) McMaster University (Sociology) Hamilton, Ontario, Canada TITLE: Fashioning Gender: A Case Study of the Fashion Industry AUTHOR: Allyson Stokes BA.H., MA SUPERVISOR: Dr. Tina Fetner NUMBER OF PAGES: xii, 169 ii For Johnny. iii Abstract This dissertation uses the case of the fashion industry to explore gender inequality in cre- ative cultural work. Data come from 63 in-depth interviews, media texts, labor market statistics, and observation at Toronto’s fashion week. The three articles comprising this sandwich thesis address: (1) processes through which femininity and feminized labor are devalued; (2) the gendered distribution of symbolic capital among fashion designers; and (3) the gendered organization of the fashion industry and the “ideal creative worker.” In chapter two, I apply devaluation theory to the fashion industry in Canada. This chap- ter makes two contributions to literature on the devaluation of femininity and “women’s work.” First, while devaluation is typically used to explain the gender wage gap, I also address symbolic aspects of devaluation related to respect, prestige, and interpretations of worth. Second, this paper shows that processes of devaluation vary and are heavily shaped by the context in which work is performed. I address five processes of devaluation in fash- ion: (1) trivialization, (2) the privileging of men and masculinity, (3) the production of a smokescreen of glamour, (4) the use of free labor and “free stuff,” and (5) the construction of symbolic boundaries between “work horses” and “show ponies.” In chapter three, I use media analysis to investigate male advantage in the predomi- nantly female field of fashion design.

The process of fine tuning the uniform regulations to accommodate the various functions of the park ranger began in the 1930s. Until then there was only one uniform and the main focus seemed to be in trying to differentiate between the officers and the lowly rangers. The former were authorized to have their uniforms made of finer material (Elastique versus heavy wool for the ranger), and extraneous decorations of all kinds were hung on the coat to distinguish one from the other. The ranger's uniform was used for all functions where recognition was desirable: dress; patrol (when the possibility of contact with the public existed), and various other duties, such as firefighting.

  • The Influence of Clothing Choice on Trust in a Business Context
    The influence of clothing choice on trust in a business context Author: Ellis Elisabeth Chantal Olde Wieverink University of Twente P.O. Box 217, 7500AE Enschede The Netherlands ABSTRACT Appearances play an important role in one’s personal life, but also in one’s professional life. They give off impressions, and people do their best to influence these in order to be positively perceived in multiple ways. People put more effort in their appearance, and try to show the best version of themselves. The research in this paper therefore tries to find out if clothing appearance has an influence on trust in a business environment, more specifically if the formality and masculinity of an outfit matter in this. Research was conducted via a survey based on the methodology of the investment game, and was spread online. The survey randomly showed the respondents one of four outfits, representing formal-masculine, formal- feminine, informal-masculine, and informal-feminine. Then a scenario question was asked, in order to indicate the level of trust (€0 showing no trust, €25 showing moderate trust, and €50 showing full trust). The survey received 116 responses, of which most of the respondents were men, with an average age for all respondents of 39.94 years. From the results it can be seen that the respondents mainly worked in higher management functions, that they have a preference for informal wear, and that women invest more money than men do. What can be concluded from the results of this research is that formality and masculinity of the outfit of a woman in a business environment do not matter on trust.
