Abstract:
Since the establishment of the first European fashion houses in the nineteenth century the male wardrobe has been continually appropriated by the fashion industry to the extent that every masculine garment has made its appearance in the female wardrobe. For the womenswear designer, menswear’s generic shapes are easily refitted and restyled to suit the prevailing fashionable silhouette. This, combined with a wealth of design detail and historical references, provides the cyclical female fashion system with an endless supply of “regular novelty” (Barthes, 2006, p.68).

Abstract:
The aim of this thesis is to explore the development of Swedish fashion between 1930 and 1960 by examining the textile and clothing industry from the wider perspective of fashion production. It was during this period that Sweden was transformed into a leading industrial nation, which laid the foundation for increased prosperity in the post-war period. This historical and empirical study is predominantly based on systematic analysis of Swedish official statistics and close reading of the fashion press.

Taking clothing and the body to be mutually constitutive, I draw on texts from a range of registers—literary, artisanal, experiential, theoretical, artistic, conceptual—in order to locate their material interrelation. The act of location is an important reflexive concern of the thesis. In examining the interface of clothing wit

In a capitalist system demanding perpetual accumulation, producers invest significant resources into proving the superiority of new products over existing ones.
