Fashion's Influence on Garment Mass Production
Fashion’s Influence on Garment Mass Production: Knowledge, Commodities and the Capture of Value Sally Weller A thesis submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Centre for Strategic Economic Studies Victoria University, Melbourne AUSTRALIA October 2003 ABSTRACT In affluent communities, it is difficult to think about clothing without considering issues of fashion. Yet, in analyses of the garment industries, fashion is rarely considered in detail, and is certainly not analysed as a structuring force over the configuration of garment production industries. Yet through fashion, garments as commodities are complexly embedded in social and cultural processes and in the specificities of place. Although the structures of the global garment production industries have been the subject of numerous studies from a variety of theoretical perspectives, none hitherto have addressed the influence of fashion on the structures and locations of garment production. This thesis begins with the idea that fashion is a complex and influential form of knowledge. It explores the effects of fashion ideas on the global garment system through a case study of the ideas and commodity flows that bring fashions and garments to the Australian market. It traces the interconnections between global knowledge flows and global commodity flows in a manner attuned to the relationships between knowledge, power, industrial organisation and the capture of surplus value from the production system. The analysis highlights how Australia’s position in garment production is framed by its geographical position on the periphery of the fashion world. Fashion knowledge is a complex form of knowledge with four interrelated expressions. -

Africa's Influence in the Fashion Industry
Africa’s influence in the fashion industry By Marion Hume Published: June 12 2010 00:48 | Last updated: June 12 2010 00:48 Covetable Autumn/winter 2010 designs by (from left) Kenzo, Diane von Furstenberg, Gucci, Paul Smith, Lanvin A long way from the World Cup epicentres of Johannesburg and Durban, catwalkers in New York and Paris are already marching to an African beat. And why not? If global business will have its eye on all things African this month, chiming with the prevailing mood makes economic as well as sartorial sense. The work of Nigerian-born, London-based Duro Olowu, for instance, combines vintage couture fabrics and silhouettes with African prints (Princess Caroline of Monaco wore an Olowu evening gown at the Bal de la Rose – an annual event in Monaco attended by the royal family – in March). “What’s interesting,” Olowu says, “is the level of sophistication, which reflects the way African people have always combined European fabrics with indigenous culture. For a long time, there was a sense that this was limited to Africa but now it has become global. Combined with an awareness of social responsibility, it makes for a powerful statement.” Fashion’s big hitters are interested. Diane von Furstenberg has created a “tribal tattoo desert sugar” wrap dress for summer; Dries Van Noten has used Ikat fabrics from Lamu and Zanzibar with abandon; and Alber Elbaz showed fierce feather and bead neckpieces at Lanvin’s autumn/winter 2010 show in March. But there is more going on here than simple visual pillaging for mood board inspiration. -
Fashioned from Nature: Addressing Sustainable Fashion in a Museum of Art and Design
Fashioned from Nature Edwina Ehrman Fashioned from Nature: addressing sustainable fashion in a museum of art and design Edwina Ehrman Senior Curator, Victoria and Albert Museum, London [email protected] Abstract: This article draws on the author’s experience of curating Fashioned from Nature, an award-winning fashion exhibition which argues that sustainability should be embedded in design practice. Spanning approximately 350 years the exhibition shows how fashion’s environmental impact has grown to become a cause of international concern and activism. It highlights indivi- duals and organisations campaigning for change and the work of designers, scientists and educa- tors working within the field of sustainability. Its outcomes include an active network of contacts in academia, industry and politics and a deeper engagement with sustainable development within the host museum. Keywords: Sustainable fashion; raw materials; nature; environment; activism Resumen: El artículo presenta el trabajo de la autora como comisaria de la premiada exposición Fashioned from Nature, que defendía la necesidad de incorporar la sostenibilidad en el diseño de moda. La exposición partía de un enfoque histórico: empezaba 350 años antes para mostrar cómo había crecido el impacto ambiental de la moda hasta convertirse en causa de preocupación y activismo internacional. Además, ponía de relieve a las personas y organizaciones que luchan por este cambio y el trabajo de diseñadores, científicos y educadores en el campo de la sosteni- bilidad. Entre sus resultados, cabe destacar una activa red de contactos en el mundo académico, de la industria y la política, y un mayor compromiso con el desarrollo sostenible por parte del museo organizador. -
