British Fashion Design Por
British Fashion Designexplores the tensions between fashion as art form, and the demands of a ruthlessly commercial industry. Based on interviews and research conducted over a number of years, Angela McRobbie charts the flow of art school fashion graduates into the industry; their attempts to reconcile training with practice, and their precarious position between the twin supports of the education system and the commercial sector. Stressing the social context of cultural production, McRobbie focuses on British fashion and its graduate designers as products of youth street culture, and analyses how designers from diverse backgrounds have created a labour market for themselves, remodelling `enterprise culture` to suit their own careers.

Understanding Approaches to Garment Fit Por
The concept of fit continues to be both elusive and inconclusive and as a construct, fit is difficult to study objectively. Throughout history body size and shape have presented great dilemma for wearers, makers and marketers of garments. The greatest challenge has been to measure the body adequately enough to generate garments that fit the body in a way that wearers prefer. In understanding garment fit, three themes emerge: how to efficiently measure the body in order to capture size and shape; how to analyze and utilize data to create a match between the body, garments and consumer preferences; and how to market resulting garments in a global and competitive environment. The nine papers that comprise this e-book deal with these areas and in doing so create an issue that provides excellent insights for anyone with an interest in the marketing and management of apparels.

Ethnic Dress in the United States Por
The clothes we wear tell stories about us--and are often imbued with cultural meanings specific to our ethnic heritage. This concise A-to-Z encyclopedia explores 150 different and distinct items of ethnic dress, their history, and their cultural significance within the United States. The clothing artifacts documented here have been or are now regularly worn by Americans as everyday clothing, fashion, ethnic or religious identifiers, or style statements. They embody the cultural history of the United States and its peoples, from Native Americans, white Anglo colonists, and forcibly relocated black slaves to the influx of immigrants from around the world. Entries consider how dress items may serve as symbolic linkages to home country and family or worn as visible forms of opposition to dominant cultural norms. Taken together, they offer insight into the ethnic-based core ideologies, myths, and cultural codes that have played a role in the formation and continued story of the United States.
