Angela McRobbie
British Fashion Design is a diligent and illumination sociological
study of the careers of fashion designers. McRobbie has made out a
strong case for attending more closely to cultural production - Jim
McGuigan, New Times
'McRobbie is to be congratulated on providing business historians
with a perspective on the fashion industry her book is well written
and the organisation of the material is faultless.' - Katrina
Honeyman, Business History, 41(3)
'A fascinating and skillfully narrated story of a creative
workforce and its relation to contemporary British capitalism ... a
wonderfully readable addition to any undergraduate course on
contemporary industries, or on gender and employment.' - Nina
Wakeford, Work, Employment and Society, June 2000
