Zusammenfassung:"What you have before you is a collection of cases that came out of the course "Critical Fashion and Social Justice' at Parsons The New School for Design in New York during fall 2012. The cases act as examples of how fashion, both as a phenomenon and industry, deals with some aspect of social justice, discussing practices, but also putting these practices under a theoretical light.They are not exhaustive examples and the application of theory comes from the probing perspective of fashion. But we see this contribution as the beginning of a discussion and a first effort to place the issue of justice within the discourse and practice of fashion in order to move the discussion beyond the hailed "democratization" of fashion." --- Page 9
