Ben Waber reviewed Producing Fashion by Regina Lee Blaszczyk (Hagley perspectives on business and culture)
A Fascinating Tour Through the History and Sociology of the American Fashion Industry
4 stars
This book is a fascinating mix of essays that examine the American fashion industry (read very broadly) from a wide variety of angles. Covering the social production of fashion, the business of fashion in the US, the beginnings of cultural marketing, and more, these individual essays give incredible insight into their particular areas of focus, albeit with essentially no connective tissue. There's also an essay on the DuPont company, with a huge shoutout to the Hagley! Highly recommend
