    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.

  • Francesco Vezzoli: a True Hollywood Story’ We May Well Ask Who Exactly Is Francesco Vezzoli
    In the shadow of style: The invention of Francesco Vezzoli Gregory Burke Given the exhibition title ‘Francesco Vezzoli: A True Hollywood Story’ we may well ask who exactly is Francesco Vezzoli. Despite its explicit assertion to the contrary this very title immediately disrupts expectations of veracity in terms of a survey of the life and work of a contemporary artist. Rather, the appropriation of the E! True Hollywood Story moniker promises a no holes barred expose replete with revealed secrets and salacious reenactments. In short the title sets Vezzoli up as the potential victim of gossip, with its dependence on innuendo, misinformation and scandal. It raises the question as to who is telling the story with the presumption, given the contemporary art context and the artist’s oeuvre, that Vezzoli himself is at least complicit with its fabrication. While Vezzoli has included his artistic persona as a subject in much of his work, ‘Francesco Vezzoli: A True Hollywood Story’ suggests an autobiographic treatment to bring his persona centre stage. Nevertheless it also begs the question as to what Hollywood has to do with the contemporary Italian artist and what if anything can we expect to be true in the story that is to be told. The nucleus of the exhibition and the work that inspired the exhibition’s title, is the film installation ‘Marlene Redux: A True Hollywood Story!’, 2006. Vezzoli himself is the subject of the film through the tracking of his art career. Establishing his birthplace in Italy the film narrates his sojourn in London as a young art student at St Martins School of Art in the early 1990s, positioning his work in embroidery and needlepoint as a reaction to the largesse of the new wave of young British artists who were then invigorating the contemporary art scene in London.

  • Interview: Francesco Vezzoli
    Financial Times: 'Antidotes to Absurdity', by Rachel Spence, August 28th 2015 Interview: Francesco Vezzoli The Italian artist and film-maker on his ‘obsession’ with truth and the connection between sexuality, art and capitalism Generally, videos are a cross that art-lovers have to bear. Most are too long and pretentious, made by practitioners who would never have survived were they obliged to use a less generous medium such as paint or marble. So it was with a heavy heart that I pushed open the curtain that shielded Francesco Vezzoli’s film at the 2005 Venice Biennale. Six minutes later, I was reeling. For “Trailer for a Remake of Gore Vidal’s ‘Caligula’ ” was a hilarious riff on Bob Guccione’s 1979 movie Caligula. Disavowed by Vidal, the original screenwriter, Caligula had been panned by critics as a piece of hard-porn kitsch masquerading as a feature film. Vezzoli had made a trailer for a movie that didn’t exist inspired by one that was never what it pretended to be. Furthermore, he had scooped up Hollywood stars, including Helen Mirren — who had also appeared in Guccione’s film — Milla Jovovich and Benicio del Toro. Vidal himself intoned the introduction. Courtney Love popped up in a cameo as Caligula. Not only was it far more engaging than most artists’ films, the logistics were baffling. How did Vezzoli persuade his all-star cast to participate? Mirren is a busy woman. Vidal was no pushover. “Sincerity and flowers!” Vezzoli replies when I ask him, 10 years later, how he had convinced such legends to work with him.

  • Polimoda: Giornetti Is the New Head of Fashion Design the Florentine Institute Relaunches Creativity As the Driving Force of the Fashion Industry
    Polimoda: Giornetti is the new Head of Fashion Design The Florentine institute relaunches creativity as the driving force of the fashion industry Florence, July 24, 2019 – With the end of an academic year confirming once again Polimoda’s extraordinary growth, Director Danilo Venturi announces Massimiliano Giornetti as Head of Fashion Design Department starting in the upcoming fall semester. Following the creative’s sixteen-year tenure at Salvatore Ferragamo and, like Venturi himself, a former student, Giornetti is a future-oriented choice for the Florentine institute, which has 2300 students currently enrolled from 68 different countries and ranks among the top 10 in the world as a result of a teaching formula that is always in tune with the industry’s needs. “Polimoda's success reflects our ability to understand the spirit of the time and possibly anticipate it. Observing the crisis of large retailers, I think that fashion will soon need a new wave of creativity and well-made products. Polimoda has direct access to made-in-Italy know-how and revels in ethnic, cultural and gender diversity among students; these are ideal conditions for the birth of contemporary design. Meeting Massimiliano was serendipitous; he knows how contemporary fashion works, he is a former student, he reached the highest levels on the international scene and shares my same vision. The school will be a bit more maison with him and this will enable us to once again make our contribution,” explains Venturi. After graduating in Fashion Design at Polimoda in collaboration with the London College of Fashion, Massimiliano Giornetti began his career in Haute Couture in Rome alongside designer and Polimoda alumnus Anton Giulio Grande, starting in the Men's division of Salvatore Ferragamo in July 2000 and subsequently taking over creative direction four years later.

This indicates not only the museum’s burgeoning interest in other cultural forms but the acceptance of fashion photography into specific art contexts. This thesis examines two recent exhibitions of contemporary fashion photography: “Fashioning Fiction in Photography Since 1990” at the Museum of Modern Art (April 16- June 28, 2004), the first exhibition of fashion photography at a major North American museum of art, and “Weird Beauty: Fashion Photography Now” at the International Center of Photography (January 16, 2009-May 3, 2009).

  • 150 Brands Have Joined Emmanuel Macron's “Fashion Pact” to Make
    150 Brands Have Joined Emmanuel Macron’s “Fashion Pact” to Make the Fashion Industry More Sustainable AUGUST 26 , 2 019 1:4 3 PM by EMILY FARRA In July, Amber Valletta partnered with Stella McCartney and Extinction Rebellion to broadcast an urgent message about climate change. A cursory Google search for this weekend’s G7 summit pulls up headlines largely dominated by President Trump’s behavior: At Saturday’s dinner, he insisted the group reinstate Russia, which was removed from the then-G8 in 2014; he made several conflicting statements about the China tariffs; and on and on. But there’s some news that’s actually worth talking about: namely, that French president Emmanuel Macron (who hosted this year’s summit) debuted his new Fashion Pact, a set of shared objectives the fashion industry can work toward to reduce its environmental impact. This comes three months after Kering chair and CEO François-Henri Pinault revealed he’d been selected by Macron to establish those objectives and assemble a “coalition” of brands at the Copenhagen Fashion Summit. Right off the bat, PVH (which owns Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger) signed on, and at this weekend’s summit, Macron reported that 32 companies (and roughly 150 brands) have joined thus far. The Pact is noteworthy for many reasons. For starters, it’s a first-of-its- kind initiative that’s uniting the biggest names in fashion, many of whom are known competitors. Back in Copenhagen, Pinault explained: “Despite what we’re doing [to reduce our impact alone], things are not moving. We really need to define targets together.
