Fashion Theory Volume 12 Issue 2: The Journal of Dress, Body and Culture

Exhibitions of fashion, textiles and dress in museums and galleries have grown inordinately over the last fifteen to twenty years. This special issue, "Fashion Curation," extends from the previous issue, "Exhibitionism" (Vol 12, Issue 1), to examine the considerations raised by teaching fashion curation as a discipline concerned with the cultural worth of dress on display. This issue balances the practical and theoretical concerns of contemporary fashion curation and explores emerging cultural and commercial contexts for a practice informed by both academia and the museums and galleries sector.
