2018 (English)In: Symbols and Organizational Practice: The Gendered Dynamics of Powers / [ed] Agnes Bolsø; Stine H. Bang Svendsen; Siri Øyslebø Sørensen, Routledge, 2018, p. 72-84Chapter in book (Refereed)
Abstract [en]

Many western countries are increasingly dependent on the wealth generated by fashion companies while emerging economies such as Bangladesh and Vietnam are dependent on the jobs produced through the manufacturing of garments for fashion companies. And while women in western countries remain the main targets of fashion, its artefacts and images cannot be produced without the labour of underpaid women – whether sweatshop garment workers or under-aged models, many of whom are exploited and exchangeable. This chapter connects the separate worlds of fashion image and the reality of textile and modelling labour by exploring how fashion imagery is imbricated in the organization of its production process.
