HERA:n rahoittamassa projektissa otetaan muoti vakavasti, ja kysytään yksinkertainen kysymys: miten ja miksi jotkut muotituotteet, kuten esimerkiksi peruukit, uudet tekstiilikankaat, rusetit, röyhelökaulukset ja pitsit, löivät itsensä läpi Euroopassa samaan aikaan kun toiset tuotteet epäonnistuivat? Kuinka laajalle tuotteet levisivät ja miten ne siirtyivät kielellisten, sosiaalisten ja maantieteellisten rajojen yli? Nämä kysymykset ovat edelleen ajankohtaisia, ja projektimme osoittaa miten tutkimus, jossa tarkastellaan luovuutta ja innovaatiota kulttuurisina ja taloudellisina voimina, voi auttaa meitä ymmärtämään samoja kysymyksiä tänä päivänä.
