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 Architecture of Disability -...

    Disability critiques of architecture usually emphasize the need for modification and increased access, but The Architecture of Disability calls for a radical reorientation of this perspective by situating experiences of impairment as a new foundation for the built environment. With its provocative proposal for "the construction of disability," this book fundamentally reconsiders how we conceive of and experience disability in our world. 
 
 
 
Stressing the connection between architectural form and the capacities of the human body, David Gissen demonstrates how disability haunts the history and practice of architecture. Examining various historic sites, landscape designs, and urban spaces, he deconstructs the prevailing functionalist approach to accommodating disabled people in architecture and instead asserts that physical capacity is essential to the conception of all designed space. 
 
 
 
By recontextualizing the history of architecture through the discourse of disability, Gissen presents a unique challenge to current modes of architectural practice, theory, and education. Envisioning an architectural design that fully integrates disabled persons into its production, it advocates for looking beyond traditional notions of accessibility and shows how certain incapacities can offer us the means to positively reimagine the roots of architecture.
