Store Collection Editions B42
€36,00

From the export of goods to the movement of populations, from the establishment of workshops to their relocation, the mechanics of cartography offer new keys to understanding the materials and trades of fashion, on the scale of a workshop or a street, a district, or the planet. Drawing on a multifaceted approach to geography, the texts collected in this book offer a wealth of insights into the artisanal and industrial traditions, gestures, materials, and actors that define the cultures of fashion production, as they unfold over maps and itineraries. Looking back at the establishment of passementiers in the nineteenth century, the logic of proximity among Parisian featherworkers, the textile trade with India, and the craft of hairworking in the twenty-first century, this book brings together voices that help us to better situate what unites these multiple ways of seeing fashion and its savoir-faire.

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.
