Designer Scandals

The book investigates specific cases, using public statements, legal documents, and media coverage to analyze scandals. It challenges the idea of designers as infallible artists, exposing their vulnerabilities and the unethical practices sometimes found within their organizations. By confronting issues like sustainability and designer accountability, the book encourages a critical evaluation of ethics within the fashion world.

Organized into three sections, Designer Scandals first introduces the concept of the ""designer as icon."" It then moves into detailed case studies. Finally, it concludes with a discussion of the broader implications of these scandals, suggesting ways to create a more ethical and sustainable future for the fashion industry.
