Mikołaj Rej's opinions about the Italian fashion for residential developments in Poland
2020
U progu światopoglądowych przemian Renesansu włoskiego rozpowszechnił się w XVI-wiecznej Polsce nowy model życia elit intelektualnych. Obszarem niezwykłej konkretyzacji tych ideowych metamorfoz stały się osiągnięcia architektoniczne. Willa podmiejska urosła do roli symbolu. Modny typ budowli znalazł w Polsce podatny grunt do rozwoju, gdzie szczególne nasilenie ruchu willowego widoczne było w najbliższych okolicach Krakowa. Świadectwo tego architektonicznego odrodzenia odnotował także Mikołaj Rej, zarówno bystry świadek, jak i komentator swojej epoki. Zapewne bardzo uważnie obserwował on ten ożywiony ruch w budownictwie oraz innych rzemiosłach, czemu dał wyraz w Źwierciadle... Pisarz starał …
The Cross-Channel Effects of In-Store Customer Experience in the Case of Omnichannel Fashion Retailing in Finland
2023
Although omnichannel retailing has emerged as a popular research topic in academic research, there are still gaps in our understanding of this phenomenon. One such gap concerns omnichannel customer experience and particularly the cross-channel or spillover effects of how customer experience in one channel may affect customer behaviour not only in that specific channel but also in the other channels of the same retailer. In this study, we aim to address this gap by examining how customer experience in the offline channel affects customer behaviour in both the offline and the online channel, more specifically how in-store customer experience affects both brick-and-mortar store and online stor…
Amazon's initiative transforming a non-contact society : Digital disruption leads the way to stakeholder capitalization
2021
Contrary to the decisive role of R&D centered on information and communication technology (ICT) in the digital economy, its excessive expansion has resulted in declining productivity due to the two-faced nature of ICT. Consequently, the novel concept emerges of innovation that maintains sustainable growth by harnessing the vigor of soft innovation resources (SIRs). Pioneering endeavors can be observed at the forefront of the global ICT leaders. World R&D leader Amazon has been harnessing the power of users that seek SIRs. This functions as a virtuous cycle, leading to the transformation of R&D by fusing a unique R&D system with a sophisticated financing system. With this orchestration, Amaz…
A New Perspective on the Textile and Apparel Industry in the Digital Transformation Era
2022
The textile and apparel (fashion) industry has been influenced by developments in societal socio-cultural and economic structures.

The growing digitalization in the fashion industry corresponds to digital fashion, which can satisfy the rapid shift in consumers’ preferences. This paper explores the evolving con-cept of innovations in digital fashion in the textile and apparel industry. Specifically, it centers on the evaluation of Amazon’s digital fashion initiatives, which have made the platform the Un…
I den folkliga modedräktens fotspår : bondekvinnors välstånd, ställning och modemedvetenhet i Gamlakarleby socken 1740-1800
2018
My research study deals with the wealth, social position, and fashion awareness of farmers’ wives in Gamlakarleby (Kokkola) parish in the latter half of the eighteenth century. In addition, I investigate the picture that present national costumes give about eighteenth century dressing. The aim is to examine farmer wives’ wealth in the villages of Karleby (Gamlakarleby socken) and the village of Nedervetil, which were part of the class society regulated by the Church Law of 1686 and the Swedish Civil Code enacted in 1734. The perspective of my research is microhistorical, which means that I study individual persons and phenomena in the villages of Gamlakarleby parish, and I mention the perso…
Cultura figurativa popolare. Suoi usi e riusi

Roland Barthes. El sentido de la moda
2021
Roland Barthes devoted much of his intellectual interest to the phenomenon of fashion. Long before his famous Système de la Mode, he wrote numerous essays on the subject, mainly of a methodological nature, both to elaborate a coherent historiography of dress and to establish a semiology of dress itself, distinguishing –with Saussure– between costume (langue) and clothing (parole). Indeed, if dress is a heteroclite whole, like language for Saussure, the semiologist’s task is to reconstruct its functioning as a system of signs, not only in the dress described by the magazines (as he does in Système), but also in the dress actually worn. A set of essays, in short, of extreme importance for any…
Consumir la obra de terra. Los orígenes de la cerámica valenciana por el lado de la demanda (1283-1349)
2018
The origins of Valencian ceramic tableware, one of the most coveted products of the Late Middle Ages, have traditionally been explained from the supply perspective. The attention given to technological and stylistic–i.e. productive–aspects has tended to eclipse the issues that go beyond the objects themselves and affect the viewpoint of the consumer: to what extent was the demand for obra de terra by Valencian society key to the start of its production? This essay considers this matter using a sample of 232 probate inventories from between 1283 and 1349, to which will be applied quantitative analysis based on the historiography of consumption. It will be argued that, before the Black Death,…
