The authors at times propose that robots
mere depictions of social agents (a philosophical claim) and at other times that
social robots as depictions (an empirical psychological claim). We evaluate ...each claim's accuracy both now and in the future and, in doing so, we introduce two dangerous misperceptions people have, or will have, about social robots.
"There are these little groups who are saying they're trying to make a difference, but what UPS has done is something solid and real and results-oriented," she said. Besides Dur Doux, the brands ...currently being featured this month are Áwet New York, Harbison Studio (the 2024 Fashion Trust U.S. Ready-to-Wear winner), and Shekudo. "Essentially we've created our retail for BIPOC brands, where the model is they get to keep 100 percent of their profits so they can focus on scaling and growing their business, while creating a community that's supportive in so many ways," said Áwet Woldegebriel, who is founder and creative director of Áwet New York. The Livewear store, which will be open through 2024 and is under discussion for an extension, spans 1,700 square feet.

It strikes me that there are huge similarities between the act of designing and playing music. Design too is hugely diverse in its disciplinary range, occurs in numerous places, and is performed by ...designers either working alone, in pairs, as small groups, or as part of a large team. When working as a team, each knows when to work together, when to take the lead role, and when to allow others the space to reach their potential and just provide the necessary support, fully aware that the team together provides far more than the sum of its parts. Some designers work together regularly and have well-defined procedures in place for each project, whereas others may be brought together for the first time purely to work on one project. Yet, because of their understanding of the ‘rules’ of design as far as they exist, and because they understand the design process and know where they fit in the overall scheme, designers easily manage to work together to produce a final product or service in a way they might struggle to do working alone. What ties them all together is their creativity. So, rather than tying the papers in this issue together by drawing threads out of each paper that relate to each other, I would purely celebrate their diversity, safe in the knowledge that their relation to each other through their discourse around different aspects of design is enough.
Numerous tastemakers exist in and between fashion production and consumption, from designers and stylists to trend forecasters, buyers, and journalists. How and why are each of these players bound up ...in the creation and dispersion of trends? In what ways are consumers’ relations to trends constructed by these individuals and organizations? This book explores the social significance of trends in the global fashion industry through interviews with these ‘fashion intermediaries’, offering new insights into their influential roles in the setting and shaping of trends. The Trendmakers contains exclusive interviews with financial analysts, creative directors from high street stores like H&M to designer brands such as Erdem, trend forecasters at WGSN, buyers from Harvey Nichols, and major fashion names like The Telegraph fashion critic Hilary Alexander. In contrast to existing research, Lantz offers an international understanding of the trend landscape, engaging with industry professionals from fashion capitals like London, Paris, and New York, as well as BRIC countries and the new, emerging fashion nations. The fashion media may have declared that ‘trends are dead’ in the light of digital dissemination, but Lantz argues that trends still not only serve as a significant organizing principle for the fashion industry as a whole but also as a source for legitimacy. Engaging with classic fashion thinkers like Veblen, Simmel, and Bourdieu, as well as contemporary scholars like Entwistle and Steele, this book considers trends from an economic and cultural perspective to add to our knowledge of the complexities of the business of fashion.
The response to the article, she said backstage before her final runway show at New York Fashion Week on Monday night, had been astounding, with many of her peers reaching out to thank her for ...telling the truth about just how hard it is for independent designers to survive right now "It's sad," said Collina Strada's Hillary Taymour, who came out Monday night to support her friend. Just affording a space to show the Puppets and Puppets collection was harder this season, with rental fees skyrocketing; one place Mark looked at wanted $25,000, double the price of last year - for a 24-hour rental. There were also some clever concepts -skirts with long trains flipped up to become veils, hooded scarves that crisscross the shoulders, apron column gowns with delicate side ties, and sheer nylon pants stuffed into high heeled shoes.
