Analysis of the preppy look design as shown in the domestic men’s wear collection

The purpose of this study is to supply available data for men's fashion design planning by analyzing the trend and design tendency of the preppy look in the domestic men's collection. In the men's collection of Seoul fashion week from 2011 S/S to 2015 S/S, 494 photos judged to be the preppy look by three design specialists were chosen in Seoul fashion week and style.com's web-site. Design analyses were compiled based on year, season, brands, item, color, material, and silhouette. The preppy look was found often in S/S season, three piece combinations were the most common, and H, I silhouettes were also popular. Refined black and refreshing orange were used with traditional preppy colors like navy, beige, gray, and white. Contrast color arrangement and neutral, moderate tones were seen repeatedly. Two-thirds of fabrics were pattern-less with clean, bulky, and soft textures. Coordinating accessories like hats, backpacks, books, headsets were used frequently. Among the various preppy fashion types, there were 'traditional preppy' faithful to tradition, 'sophisticated preppy' with refined semi-formal look, 'sportive preppy' with active sports sense, and 'natural preppy' with natural and comfortable senses. In a contemporary preppy look, traditional and practical senses are combined with casual and sportive pieces. This study can provide the data for design planning, interpreting, and applying the fashion themes along with contemporary sensibilities since the preppy look is based on cultural history.

Abstract Recently, hats have been used more frequently as an accessory, contributing to the general image of clothes in men’s collections. This study compared and analyzed the frequency and styles of hat usage in men’s brand collections according to the collections’ images. Types of hats and their frequency of usage in men’s clothes were analyzed among 857 collections from 74 brands between S/S 2006 and F/W 2012. This study also examined the relationship between clothes image and type of hats used. Hats were used in 622 out of 857 collections, and 24 different types of hats were used. In 67 collections, hats were used in at least 71% of clothes. The most frequently used hat was the fedora, followed in frequency by the beanie, cap, bowler, and high hat. The styles of hats in collections varied depending on seasons. In S/S season collections, fedoras were often used, while beanies were more common during the F/W season. This study analyzed styles of hats used in formal, casual, uniformed, and deformed images. Beanies and fedoras were frequently used for the formal image; fedoras, beanies, and plat caps were often used for the casual image; more than 3 types of hats were used together for the uniformed image; and design hats and hats in various styles were used for the deformed image. The results show that hats of various styles were used in collections to express the image of clothes. Keywords: men's hat style(남자 모자 스타일), men's fashion collection(남성 패션 컬렉션), hat image(모자 이미지)

Forskning om män och maskuliniteter i Finland

During the last two decades, several books and artides on men and masculinities have been published in Finland - mainly in Finnish. The purpose of this article is to make this research known for readers who do not read Finnish. The first wave of books on men in the 1980's were not related to gender equality, instead these books were mostly qualitative studies on men's relation to alcohol. The first bibliography on studies on men was published by the Council for Equality in 1986. During 1990's, several antologies with a gender perspective on men were published, where the relations of hegemonic masculinity, violence, sexuality, care, emotions, religion and sports were studied. A collection of men's life histories gave material to several studies, and at the turn of the century a critical perspective on men and masculinities became more explicit. Although the legacy of feminist theories is much respected, alternative ways of discussing men and power are also sought. As work with theories, concepts and methods proceeds, new empirical analysis of men's lives is also needed. Political and economical power as well as friendship and support have been evaluated as important future themes in studies of men and masculinities.

Ethical Responsibility in Medicine.

It is not really possible to judge the value of ethical statements or discuss the merit of books on ethical responsibilities because behavior cannot be categorized as good or bad by observing evidence. Ethical opinions seem to spring from some mixture of instinct, emotion and local custom, modified a little by teaching, though often in opposition to what is taught. This book gives the views of a collection of men who believe "that Christian ethics and the application of Christian principles offer the most reliable and convincing guidance in the changing responsibility of this exciting age." They include in their credentials "that all have this in common, that they are interested in Man as a living reasoning person." This is a very proper attitude, but is there anybody who isn't? "We are sailing uncharted seas," write the editors, "and we need some fixed points by which to navigate." Admittedly it
