Fashion know-how: sources addresses several issues related to know-how in fashion design, by asking the fundamental question of sources. While fashion brings together a vast set of professions and actors, and as many unique stories, how can we think about this object of study in the face of the diversity of practices that compose it?
Pleaters, tailors, embroiderers, and other pattern makers, often anonymous, are at the heart of the worlds of fashion and their technical cultures, but how can we preserve and transmit this technical knowledge, which is also "knowledge of the body"? This book addresses the existing anthropological and historical traditions in this field, while questioning current methodological renewals that allow us to understand a dynamic, still little-explored field of research.
The contributions gathered here come from conferences given as part of the research seminar of the CHANEL Chair and le19M in Fashion Know-How, at the French Fashion Institute.
