Volume 5, Issue 1

Submissions closed

Fashion Studies is in search of interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary written and creative research that analyzes and offers original contributions to the field of fashion. Our journal is mixed-media focused and accepts a wide range of scholarly approaches: papers or creative work, as well as combinations of the two, are always welcome. We also invite collaborative work, interviews, and event reviews in traditional or multi-media formats. We specifically invite the submission of creative formats, practice-based studies, and the research of graduate and emerging scholars.

Fashion Studies advocates and offers a platform for research that is both critical of fashion studies and recognizes fashion’s nuanced history and continued potential as a tool for systemic change. Work that centres diverse voices and experiences in its exploration of dress, that engages with fashion across multiple fields, and that applies innovative methodological approaches to the field, is encouraged.

All submissions to Volume 5 are due by October 31, 2022 to fashionstudies@ryerson.ca. For any questions regarding how to submit, please see our Submission Guidelines. Should you have any further questions, please reach out to fashionstudies@ryerson.ca. We look forward to hearing from you!
