Fashion History and Fashion Theory
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 rigorous analysis of cultural phenomena ranging from foot-binding to fashion advertising. The heavily illustrated journal provides a vital contribution to the following disciplines: cultural studies, art history, literary criticism, anthropology, fashion history, media studies, gender studies, and sociology.
The Fashion History and Theory Program is intended to push the boundaries of this fast growing discipline by considering fashion's significance in a contemporary context. Fashion will be considered as both object and image, using a range of historical and theoretical approaches to gain an understanding of its significance within the contemporary context.
