Críticas:

'A fine addition to academic institutions with cultural studies programs; essential for those with special collections in fashion and costume.'Library Journal'Fashion Theory is both chic and serious - yes, and sexy, too. There is much here to interest students of art, history, design, cultural studies, sociology, art history and anthropology.'Times Higher Education Supplement'Way deeper than your average issue of Vogue. Essential reading for students and fashion historians.'The Guardian'Fascinating to serious fashion and anthropology students.'Time Out

Reseña del editor:

The importance of studying the body as a site for the deployment of discourses is well-established in a number of disciplines. By contrast, the study of dress has, until recently, suffered from a lack of critical analysis. Increasingly, however, scholars have recognized the cultural significance of self-fashioning, including not only clothing but also such body alterations as tattooing and piercing. Fashion Theory takes as its starting point a definition of fashion as the cultural construction of the embodied identity. It provides an international and interdisciplinary forum for the analysis of cultural phenomena ranging from foot binding to fashion advertising. Fashion Theory provides a vital contribution to cultural studies, art history, literary criticism, anthropology, fashion history, media studies, gender studies, folklore studies and sociology. All articles have solid theoretical underpinnings and are based on original research.
