dot.
a business model for a fashion company
by Charlie Alice Raya
The dot.book offers a deeper insight into the ideas around rethinking business practices and into dot.international, the umbrella company for dot.
Part I starts with the two main dialogues about dot. from book 1, beginning, and from book 2, travelling, by Charlie Alice Raya, where the dot.ideas were first developed.
The dialogues are followed by a closer look at potential dot.perspectives, dot.principles, dot.aims, dot.’s core elements, and the teams of dot.international.
Part III takes a look at other businesses which could use the dot.model as a blueprint, and adapt it to their specific workflows. A highlight are the suggestions for a plastic-free future of Lego.
Occasionally stories are used to illustrate ideas, and another highlight is Mia’s story, a writer in Águilas, Spain; a story which is as much about publishing as it is about the consequences of tourism.
Part IV contains dialogues and scenes from book 1, beginning, and book 2, travelling, with a focus on business practises in general. Subjects like business size, business diversity, or the role of work are introduced, and two business practice ideas are discussed in more detail: job shaking and price per task.
In Part V there is a brief comment on the future of dot., after which the question What does it take to build dot.? is explored.
Cheers to all the bastards is the cherry on the cake, a short scene from the Australia chapter of book 2, travelling — for a defiant smile.
Part VII is a collection of scenes & dialogues from book 2, travelling, most of which centre around Hachiro, the head designer of the fictional dot. In these scenes some of Hachiro’s approaches, designs and thoughts on fashion are introduced.
dot.international aims at a system that allows a maximum number of people to profit from a single product, not at a system that generates a maximum profit for a single person.
