“…Scholars have recognized that the use of color manifests individual or collective emotions (Turner, 1990) and psychological components of the self (Fine et al, 1998; Elsbach, 2009). Color organizes feelings according to specific (social) connotations, such as when product designers manipulate color to create a sense of personality for brands (DeLong and Goncu-Berk, 2012) and invoke an emotional state conducive to purchase (Suler and Zakia, 2018). Color moderates the association between what people observe and their memories and feelings (Meyers-Levy and Zhu, 2010).…”

Color is omnipresent, but organizational research features no systematic theory or established method for analyzing it. We develop a relational approach to color, conceptualizing it as a means of positioning relative to a reference group or style and validating it through a computational method for processing digital images. The research context is Norwegian black metal—a genre of extreme metal music that achieved notoriety in the early 1990s through band members’ criminal activity. Our analysis of 5,125 album covers between 1989 and 2019 confirms the alignment of aesthetic and music features and articulates the role of color in the construction of a relational identity based on forces of association and disassociation. Black metal bands associated with past color choices of non-black metal bands up to a point, after which they started to disassociate from them. The positioning is dynamic, pursuing adaptation to external events. Black metal bands reacted to their stigmatization in Norwegian society by increasing colorfulness and later returning to a darker aesthetic in defiance of the genre’s commercialization. Our analysis attests to color’s ability to organize producers’ exchange of information and attention, illustrating the interweaving of aesthetic features and relational processes in markets.

“…Sustainable innovations can be implemented in any field, such as education, where such improvements go beyond technological changes, such as changes in business thinking, business models and systems, operational practises and processes (10). Web 2.0 (11), seamless learning (12), education programme (13), upcycling design process in fashion education (14), zero-waste design (15) and (16), pedagogy (17), and 3D printing (18) are examples of sustainable innovation in education. In terms of pedagogy, sustainable education is also important in fashion education.…”

Pattern making is one of the most important skill-based courses in fashion education, where students learn clothing construction through drafting, draping, and creating basic patterns for garment productions. Issues in fashion sustainability, such as textile waste and fast fashion, lead to this research. However, practices of sustainable innovation in local higher education institutions are still low compared to other countries. The objective of this research paper is to explore the current sustainable practices in teaching and learning pattern-making skills. A qualitative approach has been adopted to explore the current practices of teaching and learning in some local fashion institutions, and 21 fashion educators participated in semi-structured interview sessions. The results from the thematic analyses show six elements of sustainable innovation which currently being practised: minimization technique, pattern manipulation, upcycling, draping, digital learning, and innovative tools are part of the sustainable innovation practices. Keywords: Higher Education Research, Education for Sustainable Development, Innovation

“…Study outcomes revealed positive changes in student attitudes regarding the initial impression of sustainable design, broadened perspectives on sustainability, and increased creative efforts. DeLong et al (2017) discovered that regarding the design process of repurposing, students found inspiration in the fabrics, yet felt constrained. Gam and Banning (2020) used the PBL method to teach zero-waste design, which resulted in an increase in students' interest in sustainable living and fashion as well as awareness of fabric waste generated in the design and pattern cutting process.…”

The goal of this study was to explore educational strategies to teach repurposing, in the apparel design classroom guided by the gold standard project based learning (GSPBL) model. The researchers collected and analyzed project reflections from participants over four semesters, utilizing a qualitative research approach. Results of the data analysis impacted the evolution of the project (four iterations) and suggested five instructional practices to build upon the project structure to teach repurposing in the apparel design classroom. Educational strategies made throughout the study influenced students' approach to their design process, conscientious of textile waste, and perception toward repurposing. Successful outcomes of the study included the development of transferrable skills, such as creative and critical design thinking, problem solving, and time management, as well as learning satisfaction. Additionally, findings of this study contributed to the body of knowledge of sustainable design: repurposing. Overall, this research guides teaching sustainable design practices.
