SECOND EDITION
RETAILING
Lynda Rose Poloian
“This book keeps you abreast of the latest retailing trends, while also giving students
the foundations they need to be successful in the retailing marketplace.” Joseph Hancock,
Drexel University, USA
What is retailing today? Who are the players and how do they operate? And what will happen
tomorrow? These are just some of the questions addressed by Retailing Principles which has
been thoroughly updated to reflect current trends and conditions in the global retail market.
PRINCIPLES
global, multichannel,
and managerial viewpoints
lynda rose poloian
An essential companion for any student seeking a career in the world of retail, the text focuses
on the strategies that retailers both large and small are employing to thrive in this challenging
economic climate, and in a marketplace where globalization, multi-channel retailing, and
issues of sustainability are dominant factors.

glossary

International Customer Focus Many stores have added multilingual signs in addition to bilingual
associates; department stores around the globe attract a cross-section of foreign tourists and some
experience greater ethnic diversity within their domestic markets. Stores in major cities already
employ associates that collectively speak 50 different languages. Sales from international customers are significant. New York City hosted 9.7 million international visitors in 2010;20 overseas shoppers spent approximately $7.5 billion while visiting the city.
Department stores will continue to face intense competition in a volatile economy. They will
also contend with price adjustments, overdependence on promotion, and further consolidation
within the industry. Despite the special problems they face, many will rise to the challenge admirably and continue to be recognized as truly exciting places to shop. Writer David Moin sums up the
ideal department store: “What’s the ultimate vision? Department stores as huge upscale carnivals
with demonstrations, technology, interactive displays, parades, fashion shows, music, celebrities,
and great restaurants. A little bit of what they have now, what they used to have, and more.”21
Specialty Stores
Specialty stores may be as small as a single-unit sole proprietorship or as large as a several-thousand-unit corporate chain. In general, to be considered a chain, a company must operate more
than ten stores. Specialists are known for being on top of trends, delivering excellent customer
service, turning merchandise faster, and adapting to change more quickly than department stores.
Single-unit boutiques and gift shops and other sole proprietorships also belong in this category.
Exclusivity and originality pervade merchandise assortments of small and large specialty retailers,
although operationally, they are run differently.

Global Retail Profile—Retailing in China
Personalized Service Limited-line department stores are renowned for their service, a benefit to
which many customers can attest. A customer buying a St. John knit suit at Nordstrom can expect
service that lasts for the life of the garment. She can bring the garment back for free alterations if
her size changes—within reason, of course!—and if the customer does not live in the immediate
area or does not wish to pick up her altered suit at the store, the goods are shipped to her home
free of charge. Follow-up telephone calls by Nordstrom staff are personalized and welcome when
impeccable services have been rendered. After learning more about the customer’s tastes, the
sales associate will contact the customer when a new season starts or when there is a special sale.
This is the essence of personalized service that never goes out of style. More department stores
are considering the impact of high-level personal service as they plot future strategies.

CHAPTER2:VISUALDISPLAYPRODUCTION

One thing that it particular key in product
handling are the methods used by old
masters. We can analyse the paintings of
historical artists and identify a considerable
amount of ‘dynamics’ which are very much
relevant in the way we work today.
Vertical lines
Within visually merchandised spaces,
vertical lines play an essentially part in
drawing the customer’s eye around a space.
Vertical lines are essentially straight lines
which represent the shortest possible route
between two points. Visual merchandising
therefore should encourage the viewer to
inspect the merchandise rhythmically up
and down forcing them to open their eyes
further and view more of the installation.
Vertical lines can be interpreted as
stabilising, however when vertical lines are
positioned diagonal they become more
active and energising. V shapes draw ones
attention faster than other shapes and are
commonly used to that effect.

Horizontal lines used within a commercial
space can be identified through the use of
tables, shelves or fixtures. These add a sense
of intrigue to the shopping experience as it
relies on restricting the view of the product
to the customer while enticing them to take
a closer look. Equally, if we apply a more
lateral approach to visual merchandising
horizontal lines can be identified in such
instances as reclining mannequins on a
chaise-longue for example or stripes in
vinyl placed on the fenestration. We can
use both vertical and horizontal lines to
frame a window or create a focus; horizontal
lines can give a relaxing effect, drawing on
nature’s horizon.

Dress, Law and Naked Truth
A Cultural Study of Fashion and Form
Gary Watt
Why are civil authorities in so-called liberal democracies affronted by public nudity and the Islamic
full-face ‘veil’? Why is law and civil order so closely associated with robes, gowns, suits, wigs and
uniforms? Why is law so concerned with the ‘evident’ and the need for justice to be ‘seen’ to be
done? Why do we dress and obey dress codes at all? In this, the first ever study devoted to the many
deep cultural connections between dress and law, the author addresses these questions and more.
Engaging with sources from The Epic of Gilgamesh to Shakespeare, Carlyle, Dickens and Damien Hirst, Watt
draws a revealing history of dress and civil order and offers challenging conclusions about the nature of truth
and the potential for individuals to fit within the forms of civil life.
GARY WATT is Professor of Law at the University of Warwick, UK. He is a National Teaching Fellow and a
Fellow of the Higher Education Academy, UK.

The Synergy of Apparel Product
Development
Sandra J. Keiser and Myrna B. Garner
This practical text takes students step-by-step through the pre-production processes of
apparel product development: planning, forecasting, fabricating, line development, technical
design, pricing, and sourcing. It demonstrates how these processes must be coordinated to
get the right product to market, when consumers want it, and at a price they are willing to
pay. Now in full color, this Third Edition includes a greater focus on sustainability and business
ethics, fast fashion calendars and their impact on product development, and the effect of social

colors (addition of gray) absorb light and tend to be more slimming, so wearing a
darker shade of a warm color or a less-saturated version of a bright color that is in
fashion may be more flattering on some figures. On the other hand, lighter colors are
often more flattering to the face, hence collars are often white or a lighter color than
the body of the garment.
Color harmonies also affect how we perceive the figure. Monochromatic ensembles
that are made up of a single color or shades of that color tend to be slimming because
they create an illusion of height. When an ensemble consists of a top
and bottom of different colors, that long line is broken up into two
shorter shapes. Some customer groups are more sensitive to these
nuances than others. Understanding how color affects the figure can
help to provide options when selecting a color range for a particular
silhouette or when determining how to best use color harmonies
that are in fashion.
organza, stand away from the body; as a result, the garment silhouette may need some
reference to the body to communicate its shape. Drapey fabrics, such as matte jersey,
and fabrics cut on the bias tend to cling to the body, identifying its natural curves. By
using a dress form, a designer can explore the natural attributes of a fabric. Fabrics and
their textures are used to best advantage when allowed to do what they do naturally.
Pattern
Some fabrics also have pattern. Patterns can be created by the texture of the fabric; they
can be constructed into the fabric through weaving, knitting, or felting; or they can be
applied to the fabric through printing, embossing, and other specialty techniques such
as dévoré or laser cutting. The popularity of specific patterns is subject to fashion cycles
(Figure 8.10a). In a manner similar to line, color, and texture, patterns can help to create figure illusions. In general, the pattern should be scaled to the wearer. As noted in
Chapter 6, the placement of large motifs may need to be engineered on the body to
avoid calling attention to certain body parts. This can be more easily accomplished with
today’s digital printing technology. Large patterns are generally best used in garment
silhouettes where there is extra fabric, and the pattern can drape in folds over the body
or in slim silhouettes where there are a minimum of darts and seams (Figure 8.10b).
Texture
Texture is the term used to describe the surface or hand of a fabric
and can be attributed to a combination of the fabric’s characteristics—fiber, yarn, construction, weight, and finish (Figure 8.9). A fabric’s hand affects how it drapes. The texture of a fabric affects how we
perceive color. Shiny surfaces, such as satin or metallics, reflect light,
emphasizing the color and making the figure look larger. Pile surfaces, such as velvet, chenille, and corduroy, absorb light, giving the
color more variation. Pile surfaces also have more loft or thickness,
thus making the figure look larger. Stiff fabrics, including taffeta and

3D drape, photograph and sketch
It is crucial to exhaust every option and push ideas
as far as possible. In this particular process, Jovana
employed a variety of approaches: 3D draping with
paper on the dress form, zero-waste pattern-making,
photography, 2D sketching and back to 3D draping.
Moving back and forth between these methods enabled
Jovana to see the design process from new perspectives,
and an idea gains momentum when seen from a variety
of vantage points.
Jovana moved between 2D and 3D
to play with flat pattern, photography
and draping. This enabled her to
embroidery and zero-waste
techniques.
Library eBook 9782940447602 ∙ £37.99 / $64.99
A threefold linear framework was evident in the 3D
draping process: the draping on the dress form itself,
photographing the drapes, and then tracing over the
photographs to create new ideas. Silhouettes were
then developed with more detail in the sketchbook.
At this point in the process, each new design formed
a modified version of the previous iteration and key
elements were carried forward. Zero-waste patterncutting techniques informed 3D development by
starting with one yard (90cm) of fabric and exploring
shapes on the dress form without cutting. Seeking to
highlight the wholeness of the body, Jovana chose to
completely eliminate side seams. This was achieved
by draping on the bias and creating bias tubes, which
where then draped on the form automatically.
After the 3D phase, Jovana started to develop key
design details in 2D and began pairing individual
items together in head-to-toe looks. At this point in the
2D sketch phase, attention was paid to the mixing of
prints, colours, knits, and embroideries, along with a
consideration of how the inside of the garments could
reflect the concept of the body beneath the skin. This
led to the idea of reversibility.

Color and Design
Edited by Marilyn DeLong and Barbara Martinson
Color and Design addresses how we understand and experience colour, and through specific examples explores how
colour is used in a spectrum of design-based disciplines including apparel design, graphic design, interior design, and
product design.
Through highly engaging contributions from a wide range of international scholars and practitioners, the book explores
colour as an individual and cultural phenomenon, as a pragmatic device for communication, and as a valuable
marketing tool.

Fibers have inherent properties that determine their end uses. For example, hydrophilic fibers, such as cotton and wool, absorb moisture so, most often, they are
comfortable to wear. Hydrophobic fibers, such as polyester and acrylic, do not readily
absorb moisture, so they are prone to static and can feel clammy against the skin. Fiber
and fabric properties suggest how garments will drape, feel, and be worn, and also how
they can be cleaned. Designers wanting to avoid returns at retail will familiarize themselves with fiber and fabric characteristics, so they can choose fabrics that are compatible with the ultimate end use of the product. In addition, new textile innovations are
continually being introduced that can increase a fabric’s comfort, performance, and/or
aesthetics. Designers need to keep abreast of these developments.
• The historical aspects of dress and the underlying conditions that lead to develop-
ments in fashion.
• An appreciation of the cultural aspects of dress and their inherent meanings.
• An understanding of the origins of, uses for, and care of fabrics and textiles.
• An awareness of legendary designers and the impact they made on the field.
• Familiarity with silhouettes, style terminology, and sources of information.
• Knowledge of the skills of the discipline, such as patternmaking, dressmaking,
and tailoring.

• An aptitude for the technology used and developed in the field.
When you think of iconic designers, Christian Dior, Miuccia Prada, Narciso Rodriguez, Tracy Reese, or Carolina Herrera may come to mind. Or it could be American
designers Calvin Klein and Ralph Lauren. Regardless, a league of fashion designers has
paved the way for designers today. For example, Coco Chanel is often credited with
ridding women’s fashion of constricting corsets and introducing menswear fabrics into
women’s apparel (Figure 1.6). Each designer that has come before or is in the limelight
today has made a contribution to what we know as contemporary fashion.
• An extensive understanding of one’s customer base or audience.
• An understanding of anatomy and the proportion and movement of the
human body.
• The guiding principles that underpin all design.
This knowledge is not gained quickly. It takes patience and devotion to develop a
deep and broad base. Most disciplines are never really mastered, but continual learning always keeps the material fresh and exciting. Acquiring an ever-increasing body
of knowledge gives the learner confidence, even as it stimulates inspiration. University courses within fashion design programs address many of the aspects listed here,
and industry experience expands on the knowledge gained from coursework.

Designers look to history for several reasons. First, there is no reason to reinvent the
wheel, as the saying goes, each time a garment is made. Past eras reveal much in the
way of clothing construction, sewing techniques, textiles used, and skills developed,
and many of these tactics still have relevance in the apparel field today (Figure 1.4).
The aesthetic aspects of dress are also explored. Dress is often considered as an art
form that can reveal much about the cultural sensibilities of an age. When approaching the study of historical costume, designers rarely look at the dress of a period
in isolation. They also consider the circumstances of when it was worn. Economic
conditions, political climate, social structure, religion, technology, and other aspects
are investigated, and these components can inform how certain items can be viewed
and utilized today.

As with the study of historical dress, cultural aspects of dress are considered within
the broad context of how a garment is developed and worn (Figure 1.5). Many
cultural traditions evolve out of necessity, and skills in fabric construction, dyeing,
and printing often originate from the indigenous natural resources available to the
people. Designers want to ascertain, and be respectful of, the meanings behind the
cultural aspects of dress. In this way, when they reference cultural facets in their
designing, they honor the embodied traditions of the work.

approach, allowing students to master the three-dimensional benefits of combining the two
software programs.

at the beginner and intermediate levels. Because the book uses fashion photography rather
than hand-drawn illustrations as a basis for demonstrating the proportion of fashion croquis,
instructors will be able to evaluate students’ mastery of digital illustration regardless of
their hand-drawing skills, and students will benefit from a seamless transition from creative
thought to digital rendering.
• Tutorials are customized to the needs and interests of fashion students
• Instruction is cross-platform (Mac and PC) and compatible with all versions through CS6
upgrade
• “Digital Duo” shows users how to combine techniques in Photoshop® and Illustrator® to
achieve optimal results

Pattern Cutting:
The Architecture of Fashion
Pat Parish
“A fresh and innovative resource, which provides an exciting selection of contemporary
patterns and a solid foundation for pattern drafting/cutting.” Debbie Allsop, University of
Huddersfield, UK
“An important bookshelf addition... particularly for students in self-directed study wishing
to advance their pattern cutting knowledge.” Janet Robinson, K College, UK
The pattern cutter’s aesthetic judgement of proportion, balance, line and form has always
underpinned success in fashion design. In Pattern Cutting: The Architecture of Fashion, Pat Parish
approaches the subject from this perspective, identifying key shapes and structures from the
catwalk and translating them into 3D through a number of cutting, draping and construction
processes. These methods are explored here through a series of practical scenarios, richly
illustrated and annotated with step-by-step instructions.
This exciting new approach provides you with the inspiration, tools and confidence to interpret
and adapt basic patterns and take your designs even further.
• A clear guide aimed at fashion students with some basic knowledge of pattern cutting,
ready to experiment with new shapes and structures
• Uses a fresh and contemporary approach, taking shapes directly from the catwalk and
translating them to the cutting table
• Encourages readers to adapt the scenarios provided to produce their own unique designs
UK February 2013 · US March 2013
• Includes real-life case studies from students studying fashion design and pattern cutting

CIRCLES AND
RUFFLES
Circle patterns are effective in
creating full ruffles at the neck
and cuff and cascading ruffles.
The weight and thickness of
cloth and depth of ruffles will
determine the size and shape of
these patterns. The more circles
you add, the more ruffles will
be created. The case study on
the opposite page would need
several circles to achieve such
fullness. It is helpful to test the
fabric and circle ratios in cloth
so that you can establish how
many circles you may need
and how deep. The grain of the
circles varies from straight to
bias, and where you position the
grain will influence the way it
falls and the look.

TROUBLESHOOTING
To create more movement add extra width
by slashing a line from the point at which
the sleeve meets the side seam up to
the NP. Add width (3cm) and redraw the
side seam and sleeve hem. Do this back
and front.
If more circles are required,
divide the length of the seam
line equally so that the circles
will fit comfortably. You can
allow a little extra length if
there are a few circles as the
seams may be tight and may
pull when sewn.
If gathers or pleats are
required, do a test in fabric
first to establish how much
extra to add. Then create
your circles according to the
extra length needed for the
gathering.

There are two main methods of taking a pattern from an existing garment:
the flat method, for predominantly flat garments, and the drape method,
for more three-dimensional garments. For both methods, when all sections
are traced, double-check seam lengths with the measurements of the original
garment. A vintage piece is likely to have distorted with wear, so patterns

THE FLAT METHOD
Find the CF of the skirt by measuring across and halving the
amount, marking it with pins. Do this at spaced intervals down
the top. If the skirt is symmetrical, you can measure from the
seams rather than the edge.

Cut a piece of pattern paper the length of the skirt plus
an amount extra. In the center, mark a line straight down (CF);

Draping for Apparel
Design 3rd edition
Helen Joseph-Armstrong
“Clarity is a strength. Students can see the design lines and make an analysis before
moving into a drape.” Debra Otte, Michigan State University, USA
The third edition of Draping for Apparel Design combines Joseph-Armstrong’s classic step-bystep instructions with a user-friendly layout. To show how to turn two-dimensional drawings
into three-dimensional garments, the author presents the following three draping principles
and techniques: manipulating dart excess, adding fullness, and contour draping. Design
analyses identify the creative elements of each design and help determine draping techniques
required to develop patterns.
This text emphasizes the importance of draping foundation garments for building more
complex designs. Designers will gain essential skills to creatively apply draping techniques
to their own designs.

The Story of Colour in Textiles
Susan Kay-Williams
From pre-history to the current day, the story of dyed textiles brings together the worlds of politics, money,
the church, law, taxation, international trade and exploration, fashion, serendipity and science. This book is
an introduction to a broad, diverse and fascinating subject of how and why people coloured textiles. A fresh
review of this topic, this book brings previous scholars’ work to light again, alongside new discoveries and
research.

The Healing of the Lame Man cartoon designed by Raphael and painted by his studio team. It is hard to believe that
these were ‘just’ designs – later designers often do not complete the entire work, leaving notes instead to indicate
colour or similar patterning, but these are painted in full and as such have been much admired in their own right, not
just as an inspiration for the tapestries. The Royal Collection © 2011 Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II
The Healing of the Lame Man tapestry, one of a series woven by Peter van Aelst and company based on the cartoons
of Raphael at the behest of Poe Leo X, to hang on the lower walls of the Sistine Chapel. © Vatican Museums
This does not mean, however, that only the
strongest colours were used. Yellow is in evidence,
though often edged with red, as in the jacket of the
lame man, and underpinned at the sides and in the
sleeve with blue hatching to help give definition to
the garment even after it has faded.11 What is more
surprising is the choice of orchil, a lichen dye, for the
purple-red colour. It was already known to be fugitive
yet they chose to use it. One can only conjecture why,
but perhaps because of the very limited range of purplegiving dyestuffs at this time, as well as an inability to
imagine they would still be seen 500 years later. At
any rate, the purple has long since faded to brownish
colours.12 The green that can be seen so clearly in the
original cartoon was painted in malachite, but no
green-dyed wool, requiring blue and yellow overdyeing,
possessed the longevity of malachite paint.
tarnished by 500 years of dirt. It would be impossible
to try to lift the dirt from the metal threads without
doing irreparable harm to the surrounding threads so
the piece now looks flatter in colour and shine than it
would have originally; nevertheless, thanks to being
kept in the rarefied confines of the Vatican, these
tapestries are in remarkable condition considering
their age.
One further difference between the painting and
the tapestry is the use of metal thread. While gold
was used in paintings, Raphael did not use it here
because these were cartoon designs, never meant to be
displayed in their own right. The weavers, however,
incorporated gilt-wrapped threads in the weaving
of the columns, giving added sparkle and lustre that
was much in evidence to the Pope and his guests in
the candlelight when the first seven tapestries were
displayed on 26 December 1519. Vasari commented
that ‘the completed work was of such wonderful beauty
that it astonishes anyone who sees it to think that it
could have been possible to weave the hair and the
beards so finely and to have given such softness to the
flesh merely by the use of threads. The tapestries seem

the Portuguese laid claim to the whole territory they
named it Brazil due to the large number of Caesalpina
trees, making it the only country to be named after a
dye source.14
Notwithstanding this new source of the dye,
brazilwood continued to be controversial throughout
this century. In 1524, Henry VIII of England banned
it from being used to make scarlet, while in Venice
it was only permissible for use on cotton, where the
dyers did not expect to get a good colour and refused
to use the more expensive madder and kermes.15
Brazilwood was not the only heartwood dye
discovered in the Americas, the other being logwood.
At first, it was thought logwood might be a substitute
for woad or indigo, with a much easier dyeing process
than the vat method those materials required.
However, it was quickly found to be quite fugitive

of withstanding acidic conditions, making it suitable for use in acid and
pigment resist pastes. there are various brands of thickeners on the
market, including ‘tylose c’, ‘Diaprint 1060’, and ‘printex’ range, but
unfortunately these are not easily available in the uK. However, it is
possible to purchase tylose in small quantities from cake-decorating
suppliers, as it is used for icing (see www.cake-stuff.com).
syntHetics
emulsion thickeners
these are now mostly used with pigment print pastes, where white
spirit has mainly been replaced by solvent-free ingredients. in the past,
white spirit emulsion was combined with an alginate thickener such
as Manutex to make a thickener for use with reactive and disperse
dyes. in industry their use has declined, due to environmental concern
and the development of synthetic alternatives. thickeners or binders
for pigment pastes can be bought ready-mixed.

On any given day nearly half of the world’s population is wearing blue jeans. This is the first serious attempt
to understand the causes, nature and consequences of the rise of ‘global’ denim. While discussing the
consequences of denim at the global level, the book consists of some exemplary studies by anthropologists
of what blue jeans mean in a variety of local situations. These range from the discussion of hip-hop jeans in
Germany, denim and sex in Milan through to the connection between denim and recycling in the US.

Alice Kettle and Jane McKeating
The companion volume to Machine Stitch, Hand Stitch is an essential read and reference for any textiles student,
practicing embroiderer, designer and artist. Together these two titles form the significant and substantial
references on current stitch practice. Each chapter is written by an established maker, embroiderer, artist
or academic and discusses hand stitch from a different perspective. Wonderful illustrations of artistic hand
stitch, both contemporary and historical, demonstrate this diverse and intimate craft in detail. The contributors
draw upon important collections including the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, the Whitworth Art
Gallery, Manchester, and the rich archive held by Manchester School of Art in this extensively researched and
beautifully presented volume.

The cloTh and The Thread
as i sew, a conveRsation with embRoideReR asif shaikh
earlier this year
in Ahmedabad keeps playing in my mind. Initially, I thought it was due to his
intense use of miniature stitching, the way he had reduced the scale of his designs
by half, challenging himself to make work where the minute stitches are hardly
visible. However, on reflection, I now feel certain that it was his obsession with the
straight grain that stayed with me. He stressed repeatedly, ‘For me, geometry is very
important, the grain lines keeping it very straight when you remove it from the
frame.’1 Asif ’s designs and stitches are neither geometric nor rigid, but beautifully
placed, intricate motifs adorning immaculate garments. His determination is to
perfect, to produce something of absolute quality, which for him required complete
precision, order and control.
Reflecting on the conversation, analysing in turn the role of order in my own
and others’ practice, I understand that I stitch against the grain, marks going a little
askew, the weave of the cloth distorting the image. The cloth’s structure inflicts a
grid to accept or ignore, a rule asking to be obeyed or broken. Sometimes a stitched
line is moving happily along the warp and then shoots off, finding its own pattern.
Stitching layers of overlaid cloth creates an intriguing, jarring mix.
I have observed artists select, absorb, reject and experiment with threads and
grounds and have become interested in embroiderers’ choice of, and sensitivity
to, their materials. That a stitch can and does exist independently from a ground
and is made from materials other than fibre is discussed elsewhere. Here I present
responses to the relationship between thread and cloth and illustrate that the
ground, its surface, structure and handle, is central to encapsulating the spirit of the
work. A selection of apparently random examples illustrates a commonality that
transcends the professional and amateur, the historic and the contemporary, the
novice and the experienced. The commonality here being the stitches’ connection
to a base, as Gavin Fry describes it, the ‘in and out, not the on’.2
Whether artists paint or stitch, I have recently begun to understand that the
attraction of stitch for me is the connection of thread to cloth. Cloth dictates
a history; it has tactile qualities and its structure, usually constructed of thread,
suggests somewhere to start. Nigel Cheney expresses this well:
I went through a few years of thinking I had to be a painter and tried oils (allergic),
canvas (too bouncy) MDF (better), acrylic (just can’t get enough layers before it becomes
fugitive), watercolours (too disciplined and can’t leave the white of the paper ) … paint
just isn’t enough. I look at them and they are flat and dead and without the bounce,
edge and depth that stitch has.3
He goes on to describe hand stitch as ‘like a highlighter pen’. Applied to
the cloth, the stitch punctures and punctuates, heightens and distorts, even has a
right and a wrong. It eventually obliterates the cloth in various proportions, the
embroiderer judging how much of the cloth needs to remain visible. Stitch is
physical colour in a multiplicity of guises, a means to imbue the cloth with ideas,

this chapter is a reflection on the identity of a professional embroiderer,
his role, his knowledge and his current and future working patterns. It is written
as my own opinion and not as the definitive and sole function/persona of the
professional embroiderer. The particular emphasis of the chapter will be on the
use of embroidery within the fashion arena; as a skill, it needs to be far more
comprehensive than simply an ability to technically make work to a high standard.
Within this chapter, the term ‘hand’ is used to describe any work not produced
on a machine, free-arm or otherwise. I use the term ‘professional embroiderer’ to refer
to an artisan who is able to use his or her skill and knowledge of hand-embroidery
techniques in order to produce work for a third party or commissioning client.
Within this second definition, there is a distinction to be made, since there remain a
few embroiderers who are wedded to technical skill. They are experts in their field
but they do not involve themselves in any of the design process. They may be from
the older generation of embroiderer and have worked as employees of embroidery or
couture houses. For such artisans, the work may not be to their taste, but this is not
a question that they pose, since their job is to execute the work professionally within
any given time constraints and to any budget.
The embroiderers of today are more often artisans who can apply their
knowledge to resolve ideas and design concepts, innovate with materials and
techniques in order to remain economically viable, and display an individual
approach to their skills that can integrate and complement the aesthetic
considerations of their clients.
The term ‘embroidery’ is generally synonymous with the act of using needle
and thread on a cloth base. The term, however, is now open to a multitude of
activities that include beading, the addition of sequins, and all embellishments to
an article of clothing which lie outside other specific disciplines such as knit, weave
or print. Economically, within the reality of the current fashion world, it is rare to
produce any hand-stitched work other than samples (which will be translated into
mechanical outcomes, and the wedding market, which I will discuss later).
I am not including here designer-makers who sell their own products or
artworks. They may be professional but do not fall within the focus of this chapter,
which is the application of skill in the artisan world.
My own professional identity lies where skill is mixed with a strong design
element and an awareness and knowledge of the wider context, history and
potential of embroidery, together with an ability to look beyond the technical
precedents and constraints of tradition.
p r o f e s s i o n a l
e m b r o i d e r e r
?
The profession of embroiderer is under threat in the UK. We have to
recognise that we cannot compete with the market leaders in the making of hand
embroidery. Freelance embroiderers in the UK have a set of fixed charges and
expenses that specify a higher hourly rate of pay, and given the time-intensive
manner of hand embroidery, we cannot be as cheap as the current market leaders,
China and India.
The haute couture tradition of hand embroidery in France could be said to be
superior. The French have a proactive approach to the retention of traditional craft,
of artisanship and of regional knowledge, which means that embroidery continues
to maintain its status as a serious profession. In France, training is financially
supported by both the Ministry of Culture and the Ministry of Education, since
embroidery is identified as a national skill. They train people to work with the
couture world to a very high level of technical speed and finish; however, I have
observed that the one thing that appears to be absent in their training is the
achievement of a personal, individual, artistic approach.The cultural rules in France
are so well established that although lip service is paid to the idea of the individual
the individualists seem to be frowned upon.
My own particular area, whilst working in the couture houses in Paris,
was finished or nearly finished dresses, so I would often be contacted late in the
collection to produce work. This would mean working in the main studio of the
couture house, unlike the French embroiderers, who stitched on framed-up work
in the studios of the embroidery companies, the dresses being delivered for fitting.
The work was focused and time was of an essence: there is no way you can be late
for a catwalk. Often, dresses were finished just before the show, and by the word
‘just’, I mean five minutes beforehand.
Work was often interrupted by fittings and design developments, which could
alter the work and outcome. These changes had to be absorbed and reacted to –
this too is the reason that an embroiderer has to be able to apply knowledge and
skills in order to achieve; designers are not interested in ‘how’, just ‘when’. The
greatest advantage was to work in the proximity of the ‘petites mains’, the artisans
of the ateliers who have an incredible skill base, can fit a garment by eye, and can
produce exquisitely made and resolved pieces quietly and efficiently, the storm of
the creative team passing over their heads. Fabric and couture techniques demand
their own respect. I was more interested in gaining the respect of the petites mains
than the designer himself or herself: for me, the ultimate in a good job is the respect
of other artisans and experts in their field.
One of our skills in the UK is our ability to innovate, to take ownership of
techniques and skills, to rework and approach them in a different way. This is a
vital and essential part of our economic viability that should be celebrated (look at
the ‘Cool Britannia’ label and how much cultural and creative activities bring into
the UK). The embroidery world needs innovation, it needs to constantly build on
tradition, rather than simply reworking seventeenth-, eighteenth- or nineteenthcentury models in order to preserve the skills. I believe that we need to continue
to acquire technical knowledge and to understand the mechanics and gesture of

samples were made for was to change
the texture of the silk duchesse and
lose the join between the fabrics. The
client had a very strong image of her
look and needed the fabric to look less
wedding-like and pristine. I had been
looking at self-coloured embroidery and
was interested in the geometric look, an
extension of seeding stitch worked on

Decades
A Century of Fashion
Cameron Silver
“Stunning ... it’s an education not only about the people who create fashion but also the people who bring
the looks to life.” Los Angeles Times
“A brilliant showcase of the past century of fashion.” Elle Decoration
Cameron Silver runs the most glamorous boutique in LA, where Hollywood royalty go to find vintage couture
that is totally unique and utterly timeless. Decades is a showcase of the past hundred years of fashion,
accompanied by Silver’s witty commentary. Each chapter opens with a pair of women who epitomise rival
hot trends, like the luminous Cheryl Tiegs with her sunshine sexiness versus Bianca Jagger, the dark disco
goddess of Studio 54. The chapters close with a designer of the decade: think Chanel, YSL and Dior at their
most fabulous. Every one of the more than 150 photographs in the book is completely contemporary and
modern-looking, even as far back as the 1900s. There are rare and previously unpublished images, as well as
work by legendary fashion photographers.
Decades is a bubbling, sassy, fabulous book that will make you think about vintage fashion in a totally new

FASHION AND
COSTUME HISTORY
Poiret, Dior and Schiaparelli
Fashion, Femininity and Modernity
Ilya Parkins
Through a highly original and detailed analysis of the memoirs, interviews and other life writings of Poiret, Dior
and Schiaparelli, this book explores changing notions of femininity in the early decades of the twentieth century,
when the democratization of fashion began.
Examining the idea of modernity, eternity and the ephemeral in the writings of these haute couturiers, the book
reflects on fashion’s ambivalent approach to women, which both celebrated and vilified them, presenting them as
both ultra modern style leaders and irrational creatures stuck in the past.

history and philosophy.” Melissa Chiu, Director, Asia Society Museum, New York, USA
In this groundbreaking book, the author shows the extent of the influence that the Orient had, and continues
to have, on fashion. Exploring topics including Chinoiserie, masquerade, bohemianism, Japonisme, the “deOrientalization” of the Orient, perfume and the birth of couture, Fashion and Orientalism is an essential read for

A Cultural History of Jewish Dress
Eric Silverman
A Cultural History of Jewish Dress is the first comprehensive account of how Jews have been distinguished by
their appearance from Ancient Israel to the present. This lively work explores the rich history of Jewish dress,
examining how Jews and non-Jews alike debated and legislated Jewish attire in different places, as well as
outlining the big debates on dress within the Jewish community today.
Focusing on tensions over gender, ethnic identity and assimilation, each chapter discusses the meaning and
symbolism of a specific era or type of Jewish dress. The book also offers the first analysis of how young Jewish
adults today announce on caps, shirts, and even undergarments their striving to transform Jewishness from a
religious and historical heritage into an ethnic identity that is hip, racy, and irreverent. Fascinating and accessibly
written, A Cultural History of Jewish Dress will appeal to anybody interested in the central role of clothing in
defining Jewish identity.

wearing my T-shirts, probably
because there have been
you see one you can’t help but read it.’
According to Hamnett the slogan T-shirt’s
appeal is also its aesthetic: ‘They have to be
something that you would want to wear ...
The use of slogans on a T-shirt gives you a
voice. You speak to anybody who sees you.
They can be quite sexy. Wearing a T shirt
that’s says ‘KNOWLEDGE IS POWER’, for
instance, makes you look like someone who
has a brain, [someone who is] interesting, you
would like to know more about them. You
look as if you are part of a thinking elite. By
wearing the slogan T-shirt, you use your body
to put over a clear message. For instance, the
‘STOP THE WAR COLLECTION’ (2003) started
as a follow up to some T-shirts we did as a
reaction to Bush’s call for a ‘war on terror’.
The ‘NOT IN MY NAME’ T-shirt was hugely
visible in the enormous demonstrations held
in London.’ Always au courant with current
affairs Hamnett continues: ‘Article 13 of
the British “Prevention of Terrorism Act”
142
says that it is illegal to wear a T-shirt with
a politically contentious message. In theory
you can be jailed for wearing a T-shirt that
says ‘FREE TIBET’.’
Hamnett’s assertive and universally
recognisable proclamations have been used as
a blueprint for slogan T-shirts on a scale that
is unparalleled, but as she remarks: ‘Someone
once said you should get worried when they
stop copying you. High street copies are an
endorsement; stupid slogans go nowhere. You
can never really devalue a slogan that’s says
‘WORLDWIDE NUCLEAR BAN NOW’ or ‘SAVE
THE RAINFOREST’. A contribution from sales of
our T-shirts has been made to various charities
over the years. We also donate slogan designs
to charities to help raise awareness and funding.
Sometimes people ask me to do some relating
to a particular issue like AIDS awareness for
H&M where I came up with ‘STOP AND THINK,
USE ONE’ and ‘PROTECT AND SURVIVE = use
a condom’. We try to keep them pure,’ adding;
‘the ‘FRANKIE SAYS RELAX’ wasn’t ours, they
did it themselves.’
During the entire process of producing this
book, one name has repeatedly been cited
as a source of inspiration, regardless of the
industry the contributors come from, and that
is Katharine Hamnett. Moreover, in 2011 the
Queen finally recognised Hamnett by awarding
her a CBE (Commander of the Order of the
British Empire: an official accolade given for
services to the country or community) for
‘services to the fashion industry’.
Hamnett continues to innovate with clothing
designs that make her patrons’ hearts palpitate,
and erudite slogan T-shirts that likewise make
government hearts palpitate: ‘I think they have
turned into a new medium; they don’t seem
to go away. The most popular ones are some
of the first ones we ever did such as ‘CHOOSE
LIFE’, ‘SAVE THE SEA’ and ‘LOVE’. People carry
on asking for them and I keep on making up
new ones. They work.’
so many of them.’
Cultural agitator and co-founder of the
inimitable fashion label A Child of the Jago,
Simon ‘Barnzley’ Armitage’s creative trajectory
has nearly always involved the presence
of T-shirts: ‘Even as a kid I was making
homemade T-shirts, everyone used to do that,
it was standard punk rock practice.’ Yet, what
is palpable about any one of the independent
T-shirt ventures that Barnzley has established
since the 1980s is his ability to demote elitism
through his transgressive tactics and irreverent
vision that capsizes the cultural status quo.
During the latter part of the ’80s a trend
erupted that saw the appropriation of statusled logos such as Chanel and Gucci engaged
with as street fashion, bringing an urban
glamour to what was formerly regarded as
bourgeois fashion. Inadvertently, this guerrilla
gesture changed the fabric of designer labels
as we knew them. By negating the exclusivity
and fiscal inaccessibility of haute couture,
these luxury brands no longer belonged merely
to members of the affluent and privileged,
deluxe fashion had crossed the threshold
into pop fashion’s colourful playground. The
man responsible for this revolutionary T-shirt
spectacle was Barnzley Armitage.
142
It was in the mid ’80s whilst working at
the headquarters of the iconic King’s Road
boutique BOY that Barnzley’s entrepreneurial
spirit was inaugurated: ‘In the studio was a
screenprinting table, and at night, once the
manager had locked up, the guys who had the
keys used to let us in and we’d mess around
with ideas.’ Inspired by the sartorial prowess
of Japanese youths that used to frequent
the King’s Road, Barnzley recalls how they’d
imported a trend that saw buttons removed
from Chanel clothing and sewn onto the front
of jeans. ‘I remember seeing all these Japanese
kids hanging around Worlds End [Vivienne
Westwood’s landmark boutique] with their
video cameras, which at the time you sensed
were going to be the next big thing after
Walkmans. Anyway they seemed so futuristic
with their gadgets and their customised
clothes and quite suddenly there was this
whole thing about bootleg designer clothes.’
This movement towards recontextualising
designer motifs led Barnzley to cut out adverts
from magazines and screenprint them onto
muslin T-shirts: ‘Chanel made this T-shirt just for
their show and I saw it in a magazine and it was
either not for sale or for sale at £300 or something

FASHION, CULTURE,

The Language of Fashion
Roland Barthes
Roland Barthes was one of the most widely influential thinkers of the 20th Century, and the semiotic power
of fashion and clothing were of perennial interest to him. The Language of Fashion – now available in the
Bloomsbury Revelations series – collects some of his most important writings on these subjects. Barthes’
essays here range from the history of clothing to the cultural importance of Coco Chanel, from Hippie style in
Morocco to the figure of the dandy, from colour in fashion to the power of jewellery. Barthes’ acute analysis
and constant questioning make this book an essential read for anyone seeking to understand the cultural
power of fashion.
ROLAND BARTHES (1915-1980) was a major French writer, literary theorist and critic of French culture and
society.

Vampire Culture
Maria Mellins
The London vampire subculture is an alternative lifestyle community of people from all walks of life and all
ages, from train drivers to university lecturers, who organise events such as fang fittings, gothic belly dancing,
late night graveyard walks, and ‘carve your own tombstone’. Mellins presents an extraordinary account of this
fascinating subculture, which is largely unknown to most people.
Through case study analysis of the female participants, Vampire Culture investigates women’s longstanding
love affair with the undead, and asks how this fascination impacts on their lives, from fiction to fashion.
Vampire Culture includes photography from community member and professional photographer SoulStealer,
and is an essential read for students and scholars of gender, film, television, media, fashion, culture, sociology
and research methods, as well as anyone with an interest in vampires, style subcultures, and the gothic.

Fashion As Performance
Elizabeth Patterson
Fashion As Performance represents the first critical examination of fashion as dramatic performance. Going
beyond analyses of fashion as a means of social performance, relating to communication and consumption of
community, cultural and personal identity, this highly original and engaging book explores the ways in which
clothing operates by applying key performance theory approaches.
From Aristotle and Brecht to Auslander and Boal, elements of classical and current dramatic theory are used
in case study style to unpack specific collections, designers and moments in contemporary fashion at which
dramatic theory finds its way to the runway, the hanger and the street corner.

Porn Chic
Exploring the Contours of Raunch Eroticism
Annette Lynch
This engaging book draws from a diverse range of examples including film, popular tabloids, campus culture,
mass media marketing campaigns, facebook profiles, and art exhibits to explore expressions and meanings
of porn chic. Bringing a cultural and feminist lens to the material, this book challenges the reader to question
the sexual agency of the 12-year-old girl dressed to seduce in fashions inspired by Katie Price, the college coed flashing her breasts for a film maker during Spring break, and the waitress making her customer happy
with chicken wings and a nice set of Hooters. It also explores the raunchy bad boys being paid handsomely to
tell the world about their sexual exploits, online, on film, and in popular press bestsellers.
Porn Chic also features thought-provoking artwork by Nicola Bockelmann, which focuses on the permeable
border between pornography and mainstream culture and urges viewers to question everyday explicitness.

at the University of Northern Iowa, USA.

Punk Style
TEXTBOOK
Monica Sklar
Punk is frequently positioned as a forerunner of trends that later become commonplace, as demonstrated in the
proliferation and acceptance of body modification, the repeated use of deconstruction as a design aesthetic, and the
recent boom in fashion that reflects DIY style through handmade crafts. The book explores how this dominant subcultural
style continues to expand via the internet, youth buying-power, and the constant re-appropriation of its distinctive styles.
MONICA SKLAR has taught several college-level courses in dress and retailing, and has published widely on the subject
of subcultural style.

TEXTBOOK
Frenchy Lunning
Fetish Style traces the history, forms and tendencies of sub-cultural fashions that are popular in both mainstream and
alternative fashion cultures. Presenting the world of subcultural fetish clothing design in all of its richness and beauty,
this book explores the idea of fetish as subversive and repressive as reflected in clothing choices in people of all ages
and cultures. Linking the fetishistic aspects of contemporary culture with everyday clothing as dictated by fashion and
merchandizing, Fetish Style presents a fascinating study of historical as well as 21st century subcultures.

Fashion and Age
Dress, the Body and Later Life
Julia Twigg
Fashion and Age is the first study to systematically explore the links between clothing and age, drawing on
fashion theory and cultural gerontology to examine the changing ways in which age is imagined, experienced
and understood in modern culture through the medium of dress. Clothes lie between the body and its social
expression, and the book explores the significance of embodiment in dress and in the cultural constitution of age.
Drawing on the views of older women, journalists and fashion editors, and clothing designers and retailers, it aims
to widen the agenda of fashion studies to encompass the everyday dress of the majority, shifting the debate about
age away from its current preoccupation with dependency, towards a fuller account of the lived experience of age.

the book uses a wide range of cross-cultural case studies to explore ethnicity, class, gender and nation through fashion,
and explains the ways in which these notions interact and overlap.

Image, Text and Industry
Edited by Joanne Entwistle and Elizabeth Wissinger
This volume brings together cutting-edge articles on fashion models, examining modelling through race, class and
gender, as well as its structure as an aesthetic marketplace within the global fashion economy. Essays include
treatments of the history of fashion modelling, exploring how concerns about racial purity and the idealization of light
skinned black women shaped the practice of modelling in its early years. Other essays examine how models have
come to define femininity through consumer culture.

African Dress
Fashion, Agency, Performance
Edited by D. Soyini Madisonand Karen Tranberg Hansen
Focusing on the dressed body as a performance site, African Dress explores how ideas and practices of dress
contest or legitimize existing power structures through expressions of individual identity and the cultural and
political order.
Drawing on innovative, interdisciplinary research by established and up-and-coming scholars, the book
examines real life projects and social transformations that are deeply political, revolving around individual
and public goals of dignity, respect, status, and morality.

Fashioning Bollywood
The Making and Meaning of Hindi Film Costume
Clare Wilkinson-Weber
Fashioning Bollywood, the first in-depth exploration of Hindi film costume, contends that it is a unique
source of knowledge about issues ranging from Indian taste and fashion to identity, gender and work.
Anthropological and film studies approaches combine to analyze costume as the outcome of production
processes and as a cinematic device for conveying meaning. Chapters lead from the places where
costume is planned and executed to detailed analyses of men and women’s costumes, to the imagining
of historical or fantasy worlds through clothes, to the power of stardom to launch clothing styles into the
public domain. As well as charting the course of film costume as it parallels important trends in cultural
history, the book considers the future of Hindi film costume, in the context of new strains of filmmaking
that stress unvarnished realism.

WORLD DRESS AND
ANTHROPOLOGY
The Religious Life of Dress
Lynne Hume
From clothing to the painted and scarified nude body, through overt, public display or esoteric
symbols known only to the initiated, dress can convey information about beliefs, faith, identity,
power, agency, resistance, and fashion. Taking a ‘senses’ approach, Hume’s engaging account
takes into consideration the look, smell, feel, touch and sound of religious apparel, the ‘smells
and bells’ of dress and its accoutrements, as well as the emotions evoked by donning religious
garb.
The book’s global perspective provides wide-ranging, yet detailed, coverage of religious dress,
from the history and meaning of the simple ‘no-frills’ attire of the Anabaptists to the power
structure displayed in the elaborate fabrics and colours of the Roman Catholic Church; Hume
examines the 2,500 year-old tradition of Buddhist robes, the nudity of India’s holy men, and
much more. With chapters on Sufism, Vodou, modern Pagans, as well as painted and tattooed
indigenous and modern Western bodies, the reader is swept along on a sensual journey of the
sight, sound, smell and feel of wearing religion.
LYNNE HUME is Associate Professor in the School of History, Philosophy, Religion and Classics
at the University of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia.

either a white belt, for beginners, or a
black belt, for advanced practitioners.

system being white for beginners,
then progressing through yellow,
green, and brown, to black.

Encyclopedia of Embroidery
from the Arab World
Gillian Vogelsang-Eastwood
The Encyclopedia of Embroidery from the Arab World is the first reference work to chart the
history of embroidery from Ancient Egypt to the present day and to offer an authoritative guide
to all the major embroidery traditions of the region. It maps the diversity of embroidery from the
Maghreb to the Gulf states and from Turkey to Sudan. It traces the impact of trade, commerce,
politics and religion on materials, colors, styles and fashions, introduces the embroiderers,
their materials, equipment and techniques, and highlights the artistic and design influences
of embroidery through to its use by modern fashion designers. Richly illustrated with images
of clothes, accessories, cushions, bed linen, curtains, floor coverings and wall hangings, the
Encyclopedia is an essential resource for students and scholars of the subject.
• T
he first comprehensive reference work on this subject in any language (including Arabic)
• Generously illustrated with 500 images, patterns and diagrams, many never previously
published or on public view
• Provides detailed coverage of the material and technical aspects of embroidery, as well
as its development over time, up to and including its use by modern fashion designers
from the region

The Handbook of Fashion Studies
Edited by Sandy Black, Amy de la Haye, Joanne Entwistle, Agnès
Rocamora, Regina Root and Helen Thomas
The Handbook of Fashion Studies identifies an innovative spectrum of thematic approaches, key strands and
interdisciplinary concepts that continue to push forward the boundaries of fashion studies. Each section
contains four essays written by international subject specialists who each engage with their section’s theme
in the light of their own discipline and provide clear case studies to further knowledge on fashion. This
consistency provides clarity and permits comparative analysis. The Handbook presents a state-of-the-art
overview of the subject – its methodologies, current debates, history and future –and covers both historical
and contemporary fashion.

of textiles, as well as associated subjects, including studies in dress, costume and fashion; feminism and
gender; art, design and cultural history; and sociology and anthropology.

LAUNCHING IN 2014
Luxury
History, Culture, Consumption
Edited by Jonathan Faiers and Shannon Bell Price
Luxury: History, Culture, Consumption will be the first truly interdisciplinary, academic journal devoted to
luxury. It considers luxury in broad socio-cultural contexts, exploring and interrogating both our historical
and contemporary understanding of the term.
Within the context of the contemporary global economic recession, our consumption of luxury is being
questioned and transformed, with notions of ‘affordable luxury’, ‘sustainable luxury’ and even ‘luxury for
less’ suggesting a new discourse. At the same time, the demand for luxury goods and services on a global
scale is at an unprecedented level. Luxury examines all aspects of the subject: its historical formation and
understanding, its contemporary global political and economic function, alongside an exploration of how the
concept of luxury remains an impetus for design, popular culture, literature and fine art.
Jonathan Faiers is a Reader in Fashion and Textiles at the Winchester College of Art, University of
Southampton, UK. Shannon Bell Price is Assistant Chair of Fashion at the Pratt Institute, New York, USA.
