This critical anthology, volume 14, from the Academy of Fine Arts, Vienna invites
international scholars to debate fashion as a cultural phenomenon and meta-politic
at the intersection of artistic, creative, economic and everyday practices. A
variety of essays gathered into three sections - aesthetic economies, production
of space and alternative aesthetic politics - include topics such as fashion and
cultural commodification; the cooperation between the fashion industry and
celebrity; the relationship between designer, body, clothing and space; the
ethical turn in fashion; the roles of performance and whiteness in fashion today.
Contributors locate fashion within the context of a variety of disciplines including
art history, cultural sciences, sociology, design and fashion studies. Essays by
