  • Italian Fashion & Innovation
    Italian Fashion & Innovation Derek Pante Azmina Karimi Morgan Taylor Russell Taylor Introduction In Spring 2008, the Italia Design team researched the fashion industry in Italy, and discussed briefly how it fits into Italy’s overall innovation. The global public’s perception of Italy and Italian Design rests to some degree on the visibility and success of Fashion Design. The fashion and design industries account for a large percentage of Milan’s total economic output— as Milan goes economically, so goes Italy (Foot, 2001). Fashion Design clearly contributes to “brand Italia,” as well as to Italian culture generally. Yet, fashion is not our focus in this study: innovation and design is. Fashion’s goals are not the same as design. For one, fashion operates on “style,” design works on “language,” and style to a serious designer is usually the opposite of good design. Yet to ignore the area possibly creates a blind spot. With the resource this year of some students with great interest in this area it was decided that we should begin to investigate how fashion in Italy contributes to innovation, and how fashion in Milan and other centers in the North of Italy sustain “Creative Centers” where measurable agglomeration (a sign of innovation) occurs. Delving into Italian Fashion allowed us to rethink certain paradigms. For one, how we look at Florence as a design center. Florence has very little Industrial Design and, because of the city’s UNESCO World Heritage designation, has very little contemporary architectural culture. This reality became clear after four years of returning to the Renaissance city.

  • Intro Expenditure
    Sandra Onwusiri Ede and Ravenscroft Travel Scholarship Report Intro Thanks to the generosity of Ede and Ravenscroft, I was able to spend three days in Milan, Italy from the 16th to 19th of July 2017. While Milan (Milano) may not be the first city a tourist thinks of when planning a trip to Italy, it has many attractions, not to mention history. For all its workaholic reputation as the money and business centre of Italy, it's a city with an influential past and a rich cultural heritage. As an accounting and finance student in 2nd year, I have really had to thoroughly think about what I’d like to do after I graduate. I have developed a strong love of fashion and retail throughout the past years. I have decided that with my love for fashion combined with my accounting and finance degree, I would like to become an entrepreneur of my own high end clothing brand. Milan being a global fashion and finance district, the trip was perfect for me to gain a greater insight on both at the same time. My aim was to discover what is it about fashion in Milan that inspires such high end prices and how I could translate that to London. Overall, the trips purpose was to help me gain further insight into my ideal postgraduate career of being a fashion entrepreneur and aid in my dissertation next year. Expenditure Money spent on: Cost: Return Flights inc. hotel transfer £123 Total train and cab cost throughout stay £40 - £50 Accommodation £179 Travel insurance £40 Food Approx.

  • Fashion Micro-Enterprises in LONDON BERLIN
    Fashion micro-enterprises in LONDON BERLIN MILANPhase 1 Prof. Angela McRobbie, Dr Dan Strutt, Carolina Bandinelli and Dr Bettina Springer 01 This project is part of the AHRC funded programme titled CREATe, based in Glasgow University, Law School, with Goldsmiths University of London as a partner. For further information see www.create.ac.uk The research on fashion micro-enterprises has been undertaken with further support from Goldsmiths University of London. 02 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report provides an account of a series of interviews, observational visits and hosted events with 8-10 fashion designers in three cities: London, Berlin and Milan, carried out from 2012-2016. In some cases we interviewed the same designers two or three times over a period of nearly three years. The research project also entailed documented conversations and meetings with a range of fashion experts, consultants, legal advisors and policy makers in each city. Often these took place within the context of organised events undertaken as part of the research process. The aim was to investigate the kind of start-ups or micro-enterprises which have come into being in the last decade. We were interested in whether these were the outcome of pro-active urban creative economy policies or if they were self-organised initiatives, a reaction to the crisis of the euro-zone of 2008 and the consequent recession. Was it the case that long-term austerity policies and exceptionally high rates of youth and graduate unemployment across Europe had spawned these kinds of seemingly independent economic activities? We were also minded to consider the role of intellectual property (IP) and copyright in fashion as part of the wider UK government agenda for growth and wealth creation within the creative economy as a whole.
