Abstract

Using the metaphores of Haute Couture and Prêt à porter we would like to examine some of the fashions that have been spread in the Swedish health care sector the past two decades. Who are the fashion makers? Who dicides what to import and why? Who are the models demonstrating the last fashion? most of all we wonder if the Haute Couture gets transformd into Prêt à Porter so that it suites and becomes useful to the broad masses. And if not what do people do with fashion?
