| Sumario: | What the transformations of the fashion designer’s work can tell us about capitalism? Starting from the testimony of Thierry - fashion designer who worked in the heart of the fashion industry from the 1960s until the 2000s and assisted Karl Lagerfeld for ten years - this paper point out the correlations between the transformations of this profession and the different phases of capitalism. In line with the anthropological approach that aims to rise in general from ethnographic situations, fashion is considered fertile ground to analyze the transformations of the meaning and the nature of work in contemporary capitalism. Particular attention is paid to visibility issues. The material mobilized comes from an ethnography conducted in Paris and Brussels by creative workers in the fashion industry. |
