“…These practices are frequently and deliberately disguised. For instance, in fashion ‘it is common practice not to let customers know where the products are manufactured’ (Ermann, 2011: 115; also, see Hagemann, 2015; Reimer, 2009; Tokatli, 2014). In the case of some Bulgarian fashion labels, this practice allows positive associations to overrule the negatively connoted relations to sites of production.…”

“…The facades are designed in a way that reveals nothing of the building’s functions. Brand names or labels are markedly absent, doors are locked, and the buildings have no windows (Hagemann, 2015), since ‘[i]f slaughterhouses had glass walls, everyone would be a vegetarian’ (Paul McCartney, quoted in Kunst and Hohle, 2016: 759).…”

In this article, we seek to contribute to cultural-economic geography debates on the social construction of economic value. We widen the focus on already well-studied associations between branded commodities and other entities representing nonmonetary values by also considering what we refer to as ‘dissociations’. Dissociation denotes practices of weakening or obscuring negative links between a branded commodity and other entities in order to let the desired associations overrule undesired ones. We highlight the strategic agency behind such dissociations and thus focus on actors’ proactive relational work to prevent negative associations from becoming salient as well as their reactive practices of managing reputational crises. The article situates the study of dissociations in human geography and pays particular attention to the geographies of dissociation along territorial, relational, and topological lines.

“…Altogether different from such spaces of wearing garments are the spaces of making garments (although the makers wear garments, too). The production and supply chain form extremely complex networks across locations, and its functions are often hidden behind neutral facades (Hagemann 2015). Indeed, it is typical for fashion systems that some fashion spaces are visible, and in the limelight, while others are purposefully hidden (Blaszczyk 2013; see also Crewe 2017;Breward 2006).…”

What is ‘space’ for dress? Theoretical considerations of a spatial turn for fashion studies

This article seeks to contribute to the increasing body of fashion scholarship focused on space. Along with a spatial turn in human and social sciences, it is increasingly recognized by fashion researchers that spaces and places of fashion matter – but it is less discussed how a theoretical framework could be created to explore these. Thus, a Lefebvrian spatial analysis is considered here. The approach suggested recognizes that dress is fundamentally political, as is the space which it inhabits. Dressed bodies are subject to hegemonic ideologies, but individuals have the power to resist these, too. Some parameters of a spatialized fashion sociology and what benefits such an approach can bring for fashion scholarship more generally are considered. Dress should be understood as spatial practice, which in its turn creates spaces and realities, too. Such a framing allows for analysis of various spaces dressed bodies move through, and of how garments operate in these. Furthermore, it allows for extending the analysis by following garments through their whole life cycle, exploring the different kinds of spaces they enter. Such an approach has the potential for overcoming some persistent biases inherent in fashion scholarship, which tends to focus more on the ‘core’ than the ‘periphery’ locations of fashion.
