The Designer Scam - Hardcover
The fashion world is almost totally corrupt. Editors are given sweeteners; PRs pick up the tab for trips abroad, coverage in magazines is awarded in direct proportion to the amount of advertising placed. Shops are often set up to lose tax liabilities and certain fashion houses are suspected of being a front for laundering Mafia money. Consumers must be made to consume if the whole fashion industry is not to come crashing down. The fashion machine - from Prs to style gurus - sets out to expose our sexual and social insecurities in order to manipulate us. To expose the fashion myth, Colin McDowell takes the reader behind the scenes - to focus on autocratic designers, "freebie" persuasion, the catwalk conspiracy, rip-offs, fakes and copies, mega editors and mega-salaried models.

Book Description Hardcover with dust jacket 232 pages Fashion has failed to live up to its promise and Colin McDowell lays the blame at the feet of the industry - the designers, journalists and marketeers who, for the last decade, have conspired to present a smoke-screen image that conceals the reality of the sordid, paranoid and cut-throat world of international fashion. [Note: our copy has 14 underscored lines in first chapter]. Ours is an ex-library copy in transparent protective covering, with stamps, stickers and barcode. GOOD book in GOOD price-clipped dust jacket. Seller Inventory # 43264
