The fashion industry produces clothes and accessories that can cost tens of thousands of euros, but the professionals employed in this industry are often paid pennies or work for free, not only in manual labor but also in the so-called creative professions. Using in-depth interviews with designers, stylists, photographers and other fashion workers, anthropologist Giulia Mencieri creates in her book a broad panorama of exploitation and self-exploitation in the industry. Her study not only reveals to readers the dark underside of the glamorous world of fashion, but also offers an original analysis of the changing nature of labor in the modern era. In Mensieri's mind, the fashion industry represents the "vanguard" of capitalism, and the conditions of employment in the industry today make it possible to envision the future of many other professions. "Dream Job" won the grand prize of the French professional association Modalyon as the best fashion book of 2019.
Julia Mencieri is an anthropologist with a PhD in social anthropology and ethnology from the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales (EHESS) in Paris.
