About the titles

five: Fashion Musings
By Suzi Vaughan, Christine Schmidt

"We wanted the book to be visually beautiful and to 'nourish'. It represents a body of work that explores fashion theory, practice and pedagogy through five key themes:
mind: a source of knowledge and ideas
heart: passion and creativity
hand: an essential tool-crafting fashion
eyes: aesthetics and interpretation
body: the focus and external face of fashion"

Innovation: Management, Policy & Practice special issues:
Innovation Policy in the Creative Industries

Edited by Jason Potts, School of Economics University of Queensland, QLD Australia.
Policy frameworks in the arts and cultural industries have traditionally been based on welfare theory and industry policy. The arrival of the 'creative industries' framework has begun to shift analytic foundations toward innovation systems and innovation theory and, in consequence, toward innovation policy. However, there remain significant challenges in both the theory and practice of applying innovation policy to this sector.

This special issue seeks to identify and examine the main analytic issues in the relation between the innovation system and the creative industries. It then seeks to formulate and review innovation policy mechanisms in this domain.
