Summary

Designer Scandals explores the dark side of the fashion industry, delving into the controversies that have tarnished the reputations of celebrated designers. It examines how ethical lapses, such as cultural appropriation and abuse of power, impact the industry, public perception, and the designers themselves. The book reveals how the relentless pressure for innovation and the pursuit of personal brand can lead to financial mismanagement and creative burnout, contributing to personal and professional collapse.

 
The book investigates specific cases, using public statements, legal documents, and media coverage to analyze scandals. It challenges the idea of designers as infallible artists, exposing their vulnerabilities and the unethical practices sometimes found within their organizations. By confronting issues like sustainability and designer accountability, the book encourages a critical evaluation of ethics within the fashion world.

 
Organized into three sections, Designer Scandals first introduces the concept of the "designer as icon." It then moves into detailed case studies. Finally, it concludes with a discussion of the broader implications of these scandals, suggesting ways to create a more ethical and sustainable future for the fashion industry.

    The Brothers Grimm - A Biography

    The first English-language biography in over fifty years to tell the full, vibrant story of Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm, known to history as the Brothers Grimm 
 
More than two hundred years ago, the German brothers Jacob Grimm (1785–1863) and Wilhelm Grimm (1786–1859) published a collection of fairy tales that remains famous the world over. It has been translated into some 170 languages—more than any other German book—and the Brothers Grimm are among the top dozen most translated authors in the world. In addition to collecting tales, the Grimms were mythographers, linguists, librarians, civil servants, and above all the closest of brothers, but until now, the full story of their lifelong endeavor to preserve and articulate a German cultural identity has not been well known. 
 
Drawing on deep archival research and decades of scholarship, Ann Schmiesing tells the affecting story of how the Grimms’ ambitious projects gave the brothers a sense of self-preservation through the atrocities of the Napoleonic Wars and a series of personal losses. They produced a vast corpus of work on mythology and medieval literature, embarked on a monumental German dictionary project, and broke scholarly ground with Jacob’s linguistic discovery known as Grimm’s Law. Setting their story against a rich historical backdrop, Schmiesing offers a fresh consideration of the profound and yet complicated legacy of the Brothers Grimm. 
 
Ann Schmiesing is professor of German and Scandinavian studies at the University of Colorado Boulder. She is the author of Disability, Deformity, and Disease in the Grimms’ Fairy Tales. She lives in Longmont, CO.

    "Why is Biblical repentance the need of this hour? Because we are living in a day when most religious leaders actually deny the need for repentance."  Thus Pastor Shelton opens this booklet on the nature and necessity of true repentance.  First, he presents the underlying problem of man's sin which calls for repentance.  Second, he defines and explains what repentance is and how it is connected with faith.  Third, he brings us to the means of repentance, which is the Word of God. Last, he shows us the fruits of genuine repentance in a hatred for sin and a desire for holiness.
