Well, leaving aside the junkies and returning to the post, today I was surprised with friends shari

On the text "So who will make the new fashion journalism?" | Tape Crepe Sheath
Before starting on the subject of today's post, just wanted to make a comment: I started a masters spring street deli now and beyond me to be taking the time to elucubrar text nifty to Hem, he has caught me. Let me explain: we think, reflect, read BOTH a master who feel poor to come here and write a kick without one theoretical, without citing authors, etc., ie, without spring street deli being "academically speaking." It's a paranoia. By this notice, no text here has academic pretensions, is an article or something, ok people who might stop here a Google of my name? Hahaha!
Well, leaving aside the junkies and returning to the post, today I was surprised with friends sharing a text about Jorge Wakabara Fashion Journalism. Jorge is the site editor of Lilian Pacce, has also worked in Chic and is one of the smartest guys in the middle and good people with whom I had contact. Always patient and polite - two qualities endangered (if it ever existed) in this world. In this text, it is a kind of outburst very brave - even due to his professional position. A criticism to journalism and fashion, being a professional in the area, mea culpa.
First of all, only one correction: spring street deli I as an anthropologist focusing on consumer education, I believe that some considerations about consumerism and consumption in general in the text are a bit misleading. Consumerism was not born with the American Way of Life, it is much earlier. Historians, sociologists and anthropologists debate today which came first, the Industrial Revolution or Revolution of consumption, or if something spring street deli was feeding the other since the eighteenth century. Could make a post just about that, but it is not that. So I leave here two reading tips: The Romantic Ethic and the Spirit of Modern Consumerism, Colin Campbell, spring street deli and Culture & Consumption, Grant McCracken.
I also think that this discussion about the positives and negatives of a hole far greater consumption and then - rightly - that journalism fashion closes spring street deli his eyes. The great problem of fashion journalism, in my humble opinion, is not only encouraging rampant consumerism and carefree, as shown by Jorge. I'm sure he does not think it is just that. But the bigger problem is ONLY doing this. It does not delve into NO matter involving fashion. spring street deli
This question about consumption, about people's behavior: how many materials you have seen about it? How many times have you heard of or Campbell McCracken, I quoted above? Consumption behavior appears only on trends to come, ie: what you will "have-to-buy" next season.
The fashion journalism is poor journalism. Empty. Journalism in general can be, but I say that the fashion then, not speaking. Which does not cover all areas of your subject, which does not investigate anything. Few matters are more economical to bias, for example, except for Brazil's Economic, Economic Value and Latest Fashion, column sheet. Fashion is a huge industry that employs people as hell in Brazil and only the end of the tip appears. I was advising a fair fashion business here and we had to BEG for the press (which was on the side covering parades) give a little jump there to talk to business owners, know brands all over Brazil, talk to international buyers. Some were, but they were few.
And the case of the slave, for example. Why almost no one talks about it in fashion journalism? Why is not there a campaign for brands to be more clear about it? And a collection for the government to protect our clothing with a reduction of taxes and fees that results in the product? And deaths from anorexia, is only for those "weaker" head? Why not recognize that fashion encourages and reinforces SIM standard of thinness? None of this is subject to the glamorous fashion journalism. spring street deli
Once, a teacher told us: the fashion journalism is among the fields of journalism, the most committed to the field which it covers. And it affects the coverage and especially criticism. Translation: many journalists are close friends spring street deli designers or simply do not want to lose the invitations for those "good spring street deli parties" or that jabazinho great brands that make cute favor of letting the concierge. In addition, the designers do not usually take criticism in good, even from outside, where criticism is fiercest. That does not usually happen in other types of coverage, such as cinema, spring street deli theater, etc.. People even argue because of criticism, but this leads to a constructive debate and it does not exist in fashion. It's a game that just makes her gossips weaken.
While blogs popped up, I thought it would be a space for materials
