scholarly journals Fashion industry in Brazil: Productive and spatial profile and the emergence of fashion law

This article addresses the Brazilian fashion industry's productive and spatial profile. The study demonstrates its importance and the need to move forward in constructing a new legal discipline with its own body of rules that regiment the complex relationships involving the creative process and its trade products. Therefore, we outline the Brazilian fashion industry profile and show the advances in several countries to define this new law's boundaries. Compared with the Brazilian case, we have concluded that despite the progress, the country is falling behind and in need of more firm actions to guarantee the legal security crucial to this industry's continued development.

The article discusses the principles of interdisciplinary relations required to train the students of "Management in business of design", who specialize in the fashion industry. A description of a tested methodology of a design project on research and definition of the "DNA of fashion brands" is provided. The article substantiates the application of the project method in business education and design education, which has established itself as effective in training future specialists at different levels of professional training. This method provides the opportunity to integrate students into the creative process and motivate them to solve unconventional problems. Working on this project in a group allows students to acquire teamwork skills and get acquainted with the functioning of global manufacturers of clothing and accessories. The result of the project is a presentation in which all stages of research, analytical process.

Knitting technique is rarely mentioned in overview of costume history. Fashion theorists' attention to knitting is also insignificant because this technique never had significant influence on fashion changes. The intention of article is to overview the evolution of knitting, to inquire about its historic roots and its place in fashion history, to present knitting as creative process and contemporary technology that takes even greater part in world of fashion. I wanted to deny established stereotype that knitting is only handiworks or women's pastime. Gathered, analyzed and systemized information unveils interesting panorama of knitting as creating process having old traditions. Originated in old past, created with extremely simple tools now knit product became a branch of textile and fashion industry. Life of contemporary man is hardly imaginable without knit products. New knitting technologies enter into fashion industry and promote variety and progress of the product.

Purpose Fashion documentaries are many. Although their behind-the-scene access presents some undeniable interest, the author suggests that while revealing information about the creative process, the economic priorities are understated. Design/methodology/approach The author reviews Frederic Tcheng’s Dior and I documentary, which brings the viewer inside the storied world of the Christian Dior fashion house with a look at the creation of Raf Simons’ first haute couture collection as its new artistic director. Findings The author analyses the documentary with the literature on tensions between creativity and economy to bring some light into the observed frictions. Digging deeper, the literature is also used to reveal several issues that are overlooked in the documentary, small glimpse of the organization. Originality/value The paper voices what is easily silenced around creative work in the fashion industry, as well as and more globally in creative industries.

Summary This is an attempt at interpreting Joanna Mueller’s book of essays Coating the Baby in the Womb: Prenatal Apocryphas (Powlekać rosnące. Apokryfy prenatalne) published in 2013. The ‘apocrypha’ of the title is explained by means of structural and intertextual analyses probing into the complex relationships between the maternal corporeality and the textual dimension of reality. Coating the Baby in the Womb is treated here as a complex linguistic and existential project in which maternity and the creative act are two aspects of the same experience, interacting and shaping one another, drawing on the same vocabulary. This process produces recurrent textual figures, e.g. the Platonic metaxy (μεταξύ) or the exuvium, which refer both to the ontology of maternal subjectivity and the nature of the creative process. The article argues that Joanny Mueller’s ‘maternal personal criticism’ represents a subversive (‘apocryphal’) type of discourse, opposed to both the discourse of science and that of culture.

The alteration in membrane relationships seen at implantation include 1) interaction between cytotrophoblast cells to form syncytial trophoblast and addition to the syncytium by subsequent fusion of cytotrophoblast cells, 2) formation of a wide variety of functional complex relationships by trophoblast with uterine epithelial cells in the process of invasion of the endometrium, and 3) in the case of the rabbit, fusion of some uterine epithelial cells with the trophoblast.Formation of syncytium is apparently a membrane fusion phenomenon in which rapid confluence of cytoplasm often results in isolation of residual membrane within masses of syncytial trophoblast. Often the last areas of membrane to disappear are those including a desmosome where the cell membranes are apparently held apart from fusion.

Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) has been used for many atomic scale observations of metal and semiconductor surfaces. The fundamental principle of the microscope involves the tunneling of evanescent electrons through a 10Å gap between a sharp tip and a reasonably conductive sample at energies in the eV range. Lateral and vertical resolution are used to define the minimum detectable width and height of observed features. Theoretical analyses first discussed lateral resolution in idealized cases, and recent work includes more general considerations. In all cases it is concluded that lateral resolution in STM depends upon the spatial profile of electronic states of both the sample and tip at energies near the Fermi level. Vertical resolution is typically limited by mechanical and electronic noise.
