*Long live the (im)material: Concept and materiality in Viktor&Rolf’s 
fashion* <http://www.intellectbooks.co.uk/journals/view-Article,id=21628/>

*Authors*: /Danielle Bruggeman and Aurélie Van de Peer/

Page Start: 7

This article seeks to challenge the way in which journalistic and 
academic discourses on the conceptual fashion of Dutch designers 
Viktor&Rolf privilege ideas over the materiality of fashion.


*Creating aesthetic, institutional and symbolic boundaries in fashion 
photo shoots* <http://www.intellectbooks.co.uk/journals/view->

*Authors: */Elise Van der Laan and Giselinde Kuipers/

Page Start: 47

This study proposes a ‘bottom-up’, micro-sociological analysis of 
cultural production. Drawing on detailed observations of fashion shoots 
and interviews with fashion professionals in the Netherlands, we analyse 
how the division between ‘high’ (editorial) and ‘low’ (commercial) 
culture is produced in the fashion field.


*From dandyism to ‘Coco’ Chanel: A reassessment of Georg Simmel’s theory 
of fashion* 
<http://www.intellectbooks.co.uk/journals/view-Article,id=21629/>

*Authors: */António Machuco Rosa /

Page Start: 91

This article reassesses Georg Simmel’s theory of fashion. Stressing on 
the importance of the principles of: generalization and differentiation 
that for Simmel, guided the change cycle of fashion. Examining these two 
principles within this article the author also shows that Simmel’s 
classification should be changed by taking in to consideration a third 
trend: chic anti-fashion.


*The hoodie: Consumer choice, fashion style and symbolic meaning* 
<http://www.intellectbooks.co.uk/journals/view-Article,id=21618/>

*Authors: */Osmund Rahman/

Page Start: 111

In this exploratory study, the hoodie was used as a vehicle to 
investigate and illuminate how meanings are produced and perceived. 
According to the findings of this study, the choice to wear a hoodie can 
be based solely on such comfort factors as warmth and breathability, but 
it may also be intended to manifest an individual’s choice or taste.
