Summary

Global Fashion Capitals explores the multifaceted elements that elevate cities to the status of international fashion hubs. The book argues that becoming a fashion capital involves more than just designer presence; it requires a blend of historical context, industrial infrastructure, artistic movements, and strategic marketing. For instance, while Paris established its legacy through haute couture, Milan excelled in textile production and ready-to-wear. 

 
The book examines the unique journeys of Paris, Milan, and New York, dissecting how each city developed its distinct identity and global influence. Beginning with a framework for understanding the key indicators of a fashion capital, it delves into each city's fashion history, highlighting critical periods of growth and change. By using archival materials, industry reports, and other diverse sources, the book offers a comprehensive look at how these cities became epicenters of design, commerce, and cultural identity.

 
Concluding with a comparative analysis and a look toward the future, Global Fashion Capitals considers the rise of new global fashion centers and the evolving dynamics of the fashion industry. This approach offers readers insights applicable to understanding current and emerging fashion hubs, making it valuable for students, industry professionals, and anyone interested in urban culture and global trends.

    A non-fiction best-seller that intertwines the principles of social anarchism with an extension of politics to interpersonal relationships.

This «relationship anarchy» endeavors to be a real revolution sparked from our affections, rooting not only in the long tradition of anarchism but also in contributions from the most recent sociology, anthropology, feminism, queer theory, and non-monogamous activisms. At a time when revolutionary perspectives seem to have moved beyond the horizon, the challenge of relationship anarchy is to build non-hierarchical networks of mutual care, trying to extend to intimacy the ideals that we would like to lead in society, overcoming normativity, inherited power structures, and stereotyped control mechanisms.

    The Sociology of Deviance -...

    Deviance is not an inherent quality of an action or behavior but rather a label assigned by society based on cultural norms, values, and historical context. What is considered deviant in one society may be perfectly acceptable in another, highlighting the socially constructed nature of rule-breaking. This means that deviance is not a fixed concept but a fluid one, constantly evolving as societies change over time. 
Norms, or the unwritten rules that govern behavior, play a central role in determining what is labeled as deviant. These norms vary across cultures, social groups, and historical periods, meaning that what is seen as unacceptable in one setting may be tolerated or even encouraged in another. For example, attitudes toward tattoos, same-sex relationships, and gender roles have shifted dramatically over time, illustrating how deviance is shaped by broader social forces rather than existing as an objective reality. 
One of the key aspects of the social construction of deviance is the process of labeling. According to labeling theory, deviance is not just about breaking rules but also about how society reacts to those who violate norms. When a person is labeled as deviant, they may experience stigma, discrimination, or exclusion, reinforcing their deviant identity. This can lead to a self-fulfilling prophecy where individuals internalize their label and continue engaging in deviant behavior. For instance, a teenager who is repeatedly told they are a troublemaker may begin to see themselves that way and act accordingly.
