Sinossi

Fashion Industry Revolts uncovers the untold stories of dissent and upheaval that have shaped the fashion industry. Examining moments of protest, the book reveals how garment workers, counter-cultural movements, and advocates for ethical fashion have challenged the status quo. Did you know that the Industrial Revolution significantly impacted clothing styles and labor practices? Or that movements like punk rock directly influenced alternative aesthetics and social rebellion in fashion? This book offers a fresh perspective on fashion history, moving beyond designer biographies to explore the broader social, economic, and political forces at play.

The book's unique value lies in its focus on collective action and bottom-up change, rather than solely on individual designers. It begins by introducing key concepts like fast fashion and labor exploitation. Then, it progresses through historical protests by garment workers, the impact of counter-cultural movements, and the rise of sustainable fashion. Drawing on archival research, primary sources, and interviews, it demonstrates that genuine change arises from challenging established norms.

Ultimately, Fashion Industry Revolts connects fashion to labor history, sociology, and environmental studies, empowering readers to become active participants in creating a more just and sustainable fashion future. By understanding the revolts that have already occurred, consumers, designers, and policymakers can contribute to positive change within the fashion industry.

We Are All Musicians Now - The...

Zack O'Malley Greenberg

Ever wonder how legendary linebacker Bobby Wagner applies Jay-Z's entrepreneurial lessons to his football career? Or what studying the music business taught graffiti pioneer Fab 5 Freddy about distributing his art? Any entrepreneur or professional can gain a greater understanding of what's happening in the world -- from trends like NFTs to changes in the broader business climate -- by observing what has happened to (and because of) musicians. Doing so offers a path to wrapping one's brain around what may yet be coming down the pike in any industry. Take the shift from analog to digital, in which vinyl and cassettes were replaced by CDs long before DVDs conquered VHS. Or the move from physical to virtual, where Napster decimated record stores even as bricks-and-mortar retailers like Blockbuster blindly chugged toward their doom. In "We Are All Musicians Now," former Forbes senior editor Zack O'Malley Greenburg educates and enlightens while offering the audience backstage passes to the most fascinating industry transformations of the past fifty years.
