Fashion Theory Volume 15 Issue 2
This is a special issue of Fashion Theory, focusing on New European Fashion Centers. While the major fashion cities have been studied in detail, research on fashion in small European nations has been limited. The contributors map out and discuss this "second-tier" of fashion nations.
Fashion and Museums
With contributions from expert scholars and practitioners, this volume examines the rise of fashion in the museum through a range of international case studies.
Crossroads of Heritage and Religion
Looking at the crossroads between heritage and religion through the case study of Moravian Christiansfeld, designated as a UNESCO World Heritage site in July 2015, this anthology reaches back to the eighteenth century when the church settlement was founded, examines its legacy within Danish culture and modern society, and brings this history into the present and the ongoing heritagization processes. Finally, it explores the consequences of the listing for the everyday life in Christiansfeld and discusses the possible and sustainable futures of a religious community in a World Heritage Site.

Fashioned in the North
This edited volume showcases new examples - previously untold stories of images, photographers, publications, and institutions - partly unknown outside the Nordic countries. The authors examine the reasons for and implications of this underexposure, taking on a photographic metaphor. While simultaneously challenging previously taken-for-granted ideas of the center and periphery in this field, the book also widens the study of fashion photography. Notably, the hybridity of approaches may enrich future studies of fashion photography. In Fashioned in the North, fashion photography is viewed as a transnational phenomenon and a material object, as well as a medium that is part of a media system and a result of archival systems and history writings. Furthermore, the book displays how studies of fashion photography can be so much more than stories of a few names and iconic images or studies of individual and periodic style. Indeed, the study of fashion photography may be a prism through which we can uncover cultural, social, economic, and ideological aspects of society at present and in the past.
Dansk på mode!
I en tid hvor modeindustrien globaliseres, og masseproducerede forbrugsvarer sælges verden over, er modens distinkte, nationale identitet blevet relevant som et unikt særkende. Som aldrig før tales der om dansk mode i modeindustrien, i medierne, på Christiansborg, på landets designuddannelser og blandt modeforskere. Denne bog handler om, hvordan fænomenet dansk mode er opstået, og hvordan dets forskellige betydninger er blevet til. Det er en bog om tøj, modedesign, identitet og historie i og omkring den danske modebranche i perioden fra midten af det 20. århundrede til begyndelsen af det 21. århundrede. Marie Riegels Melchior tager afsæt i en historisk analyse af dansk modes histo...

Fashioned in the North
Fashioned in the North showcases stories of images, photographers, publications and institutions that have attracted minimal attention outside the local Nordic academic community. The authors of the book examine the reasons for, and implications of this underexposure – to use a photographic metaphor. The domain of fashion photography studies is widened here and the texts challenge often taken for granted ideas of centre and periphery in the discipline. The hybridity of this approach adds new nuances that enrich the knowledge in the field. The contributors discuss fashion photography as a trans national phenomenon, a material object, as medium and part of a media system, and as the result of archival systems and history writings. They show how in depth studies of this kind can offer so much more than focusing on but a few agents, iconic images, individual or periodic style. Indeed, case studies like these serve as a prism through which we can reveal cultural, social, economic and ideological aspects of society as these are reflected in fashion photography.
