Business History of Fashion Summary – Exam November 6th, 2017
Week 1
Fashion as a dress
Simmel Trickle-down theory: fashion influences only the upper classes, as soon
as the lower classes start copying their style, the upper class has to redefine the
boundary between them by finding a new style.
Still relevant, or more and more bottom-up theory?
Humans have dualistic nature (masculine/feminine, motion/response), same in
society Generalization (imitation)/specialization (individualization)
Fashion gives the opportunity to imitate and differentiate!
Fashion – the struggle to balance fitting in with standing out without the need
to satisfy both desires, there would be no fashion.
Fashion does not only involve clothing, but any type of art.
According to Simmel, women do not have a position within a class, and fashion
makes up for that lack. Women are less different and feel a bigger need to fit in
with the average.
Edelkoort – Anti-Fashion: Students are trained to be individual designers, very
20th century, when nowadays fashion is more of an interaction.
Fashion: cultural force that draws sustenance from social customs, group
psychology, material life, economic institutions and other types of human
interactions and, in turn, influences them / an unplanned process of recurrent
change against a backdrop of order in the public realm.
Blaszczyk Fashion in 4 cultural areas:
Mode: the way we dress
Manners: the way we express ourselves
Mores: the way we live
Markets: demographic and psychological
Fad: sudden changes, often spread quickly and fade away rapidly
Innovation: alters social practices in a deeper way and has a longer-lasting effect
Style: a combination of silhouette, construction, fabric and details that exist and
thus can be used over time (e.g. Punk)
Trend: a direction in which fashion may be heading
