Summary
Every fashion collection begins with research. But how do you start? How much should you do? How do you use that research? This book is designed to answer these questions and demystify the process for students. Illustrated throughout with inspirational photographs and images of good practice within student sketchbooks, the book begins with the basics of primary and secondary research sources and shows students how and where to gather information. Chapters on market, fabric and colour research are followed by the final chapter, which shows how to gather all the information together, understand it and use it in a process known as triangulation. Additionally, case studies from a wide range of international designers showcase different working methods.

Summary

They may also tell us something about our culture and wider society. This edited volume for the first time examines fashion and design events from a social perspective, incl

Summary
"For hundreds of years consumers and scholars alike have acknowledged that food is affected by the same rapid shifts in taste as clothing; just like fashion, food is consumed and sold as a fashionable commodity. Yet despite this, the reciprocal relationship between fashion and food has not been fully explored - until now. In Gastrofashion from Haute Cuisine to Haute Couture, Geczy and Karaminas trace this food/fashion relationship back to the Middle Ages when consumer behaviours were perceived to reflect social status and propriety. Through surprising case studies, the authors demonstrate that the body is the common thread linking fashion and foods as the site on which fashionability is expressed. They explore the origins of the current appeal of linking fashion and food in the spectacles of world exhibitions, and the way in which the fashion and food industries have collaborated in installations such as the Armani restaurant and the Gucci cafë, in multipurpose retail environments and in runway installations such as Chanel's A/W 2014 supermarket. Powerful in related ways, food and fashion are increasingly marketed in tandem to reinforce each object's capitalist power"--
