A gentleman came into the shop at the weekend, and was chatting to my partner about a really interesting project, based in the School of History at the University of Leeds. The team of researchers and advisors, however, hail from Universities in many other countries so it isn't just UK-centric.
You may already have heard of it but it was new to me, so thought I'd share
Its called The Enterprise of Culture, and it's a three year project. I looked through some of the upcoming programme and there's some really interesting stuff!
Here's the general idea from the homepage:
"Fashion is often studied from a purely theoretical perspective, from a costume history or dress history viewpoint, or from a popular media-driven vantage point. 'The Enterprise of Culture: international structures and connections in the fashion industry since 1945' breaks new ground, using the fashion business to examine how various types of cultural encounters – between 'core' fashion cities such as Paris and London and 'peripheral' areas such as Sweden and Scotland, between style labs and the high street, and between fibre makers, clothing manufacturers, and retailers – stimulated innovation, and created a new and competitive industry."
Worth a quick look and see what events they have upcoming in their programme - amongst others there will be an exhibition at the V&A from 10th June 2016 'The Enterprise of Culture: The European Fashion Business Since 1945'.
