The Crafts of Fashion: Sources covers various issues relating to know-how in fashion design and raises the crucial question of sources. Fashion encompasses a vast array of professions and crafts, and as many singular histories; how can we think about this object of study when faced with the diversity of the practices that make it up? Plaiters, tailors, embroiderers, and other model makers, often anonymous, animate the worlds of fashion and their technical cultures, but how is this technical knowledge, which is also “knowledge of the body”, studied, preserved, and transmitted? This volume looks at the existing anthropological and historical traditions in this field, and examines current methodological innovations that enable us to understand this dynamic, little-explored area of research.

Éditions B42 publishes books exploring the visual environment in which we live, contributing to the creation of a library of tools for reflection on the practices of design, graphic design, typography and contemporary creation. These studies intersect with other fields such as technology, media, digital technology, anthropology and cultural studies.

B42 is committed to translating major texts in the history of design and typography, as well as publishing essays that contribute to the dissemination and renewal of knowledge. This work, which began in 2008, has resulted in a catalogue of reference books, particularly popular with teachers, which constitute a living, ever-changing collection.

They occupy a prominent place in the libraries of designers, graphic designers, architects, artists, students and teachers in these fields.
