Fashion Theory: The Journal Of Dress, Body & Culture

"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. All articles have solid theoretical underpinnings and are based on original research.

Berg are pleased to offer a special set comprised of the full range of back issues from volumes 1 through 7 (inclusive). Several of the early volumes, long out of print and much sought after, are now back in print and available through this special set purchase for the first time in years. Libraries that missed out on early volumes will find this set fills a major gap in their collection.
Launched in 1997, "Fashion Theory" is now one of the most well-established and pre-eminent journals in the study of fashion and textiles. Edited by Valerie Steele, all articles have solid theoretical underpinnings and are based on original research. The journal provides an international and interdisciplinary forum for the analysis of the cultural significance of fashion, covering phenomena ranging from foot binding to fashion advertising. "Fashion Theory" is a vital contribution to cultural studies, art history, literary criticism, anthropology, fashion history, media studies, gender studies, folklore studies and sociology.
