Fashion Theory - Journal of Dress Body and Culture

Aims & Scope

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 fashion 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 interdisciplinary forum for the rigorous analysis of cultural phenomena ranging from footbinding to fashion advertising.
