Sinopsis

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.

    Pulitzer-Prize winning journalist Jose Antonio Vargas, called “the most famous undocumented immigrant in America,” tackles one of the defining issues of our time in this explosive and deeply personal call to arms. 
    “This is not a book about the politics of immigration. This book––at it's core––is not about immigration at all. This book is about homelessness, not in a traditional sense, but in the unsettled, unmoored psychological state that undocumented immigrants like myself find ourselves in. This book is about lying and being forced to lie to get by; about passing as an American and as a contributing citizen; about families, keeping them together, and having to make new ones when you can’t. This book is about constantly hiding from the government and, in the process, hiding from ourselves. This book is about what it means to not have a home. 
    After 25 years of living illegally in a country that does not consider me one of its own, this book is the closest thing I have to freedom.” 
    —Jose Antonio Vargas, from Dear America

    “Julie Fingersh’s Stay is so rich, wise, funny, and beautifully written. It’s hard to put down once you start." 
    —Anne Lamott, #1 New York Times bestselling author 
    Called “Profound, funny, and masterfully told by” by #1 New York Times bestselling author Gretchen Rubin, Stay: A Story of Family, Love, and Other Traumas is a riveting debut that captures the joyous and painful complexity of family love and loyalty, the cost of family secrets, and the quest to help the people we love most without losing our own way. It’s also a rare window into two of the biggest epidemics gripping society today: mental illness and chronic illness and the ways in which they affect relationships, personal identity, and the blueprint of our lives. 
    Told through the eyes of the author as both a young sibling and a mid-life parent, Julie Fingersh seamlessly weaves together present and past, unlocking the puzzle of her early adulthood with her struggling brother from the vantage point of a mid-life parent on the verge of an empty nest and her next chapter, just as her college-bound daughter’s life suddenly careens off track.  
    Sparkling with warmth, wit, and lyrical prose, Fingersh provides insight and sustenance for everyone wrestling with mid-life’s ghosts, parenting adult children, and the twin pillagers of fear and the inner critic. Above all, Stay is for readers who want to think, feel, laugh, cry, and perhaps see their own life’s trajectory and path forward with new eyes.

    My Secret Life Vol 9 Chapter 3

    My Secret Life is an anonymously penned memoir written during a period from the 1840s to the 1880s by a wealthy and sex obsessed English gentleman who refers to himself simply as ‘Walter’. Part confessional, part investigative erotic journalism, it meticulously documents every detail of the author’s prolific sexual encounters, offering us in the process an eye and thigh opening account of life behind closed doors in the Victorian age.
    
    Women, in both mind and body, were the all consuming object of Walter’s interest. From early youth through to old age his quest for erotic discovery and adventure with them was never diminished.
    
    Unlike contemporary 19th century erotic texts, such as The Pearl, whose sole object was to titillate, Walter’s interest in his subjects did not end with the extinguishing of the carnal flame. His hunger to understand the circumstances and minds of the women he encountered is never upstaged by the sex. Their potted life histories, their most intimate desires and acts were shared with him and in turn meticulously recorded by him, written down verbatim while still fresh in his mind.
    
    The resulting poignant record of a lost era and the intimate moments of the women who inhabited it offer us a remarkable insight into the 19th century that cannot be gleaned from any other source.
    
    The complete unabridged text is being released as a fully scored audiofilm (an audio book with accompanying music soundtrack) by film composer Dominic Crawford Collins.

    Sita Walker was raised by five strong matriarchs who taught her to believe in God and to Be Good. Her grandmother, mother and three aunts believed in unshakeable faith, in the power of prayer, in sacrifice, in magic, in the healing of turmeric and tea, and the wisdom of dreams. 
     
    But as hard as she tries to be good, Sita always suspects that deep down, she isn’t very good at all. 
     
    At 35, she hasn’t prayed in years, her dream of true love has died, and along with it, her faith – not that she’s telling her mother, or her aunts. Instead, she abandons religion in secret, ‘taking tiny pieces of God away, one by one, under cover of darkness.’ 
     
    Now, the only way she can fulfil her destiny is to seek out the wisdom of the ones who came before, and truly understand the women who raised her. But will they understand her? Either way, the matriarchy will never be the same again. 
     
    Traversing decades and continents – from Iran to India, Sri Lanka to the Czech Republic, Adelaide to the Torres Strait – The God of No Good is a beautifully lyrical and funny intergenerational memoir about six women and how their lives intertwine.
