Palgrave Studies in Fashion and the Body

Palgrave Studies in Fashion and the Body publishes research that offers a fresh perspective on the contemporary and historical significance of fashion as a bodily practice and cultural industry. A vibrant and growing field, fashion studies touches on disciplines such as art, film, history, design, sociology, literature, politics, geography and anthropology. The series explores modes of representation that fashion has taken historically, but also considers the cultural contexts for new directions, at a time when the fashioned body is increasingly implicated in the negotiation of individual and collective identities. By following new circuits of production and consumption the series highlights the range of social and political forces shaping fashion practices today. Looking to recent developments in new materialisms, medical humanities, disability studies, the posthuman, intermediality, decolonial and pluriversal perspectives, books in the series consider fashion’s role in anticipating new cultural transformations.
