Schmattès (Fringues, in Yiddish)

From the fashion of the 1990s to the birth of fast-fashion: an autobiographical account from the Sentier

In this lively account, Guillaume Erner plunges the reader into the heart of the vanished world of the garment trade, that of the workshops and markets of the Sentier. Combining reportage, family anecdotes and sociological reflection, the author captures the daily lives of textile workers, the working relationships and community dynamics that shaped this world. The book sheds light on how a simple Yiddish word, "schmattès", became the linchpin of a richly instructive social and economic history.
