Fashion Practice

The proposed journal suggests a fresh and inviting attitude toward scholarship that should be appealing to designers, both professional and academic...The journal’s inter-disciplinary approach and the fact that it is inclusive of new areas of concern, like sustainability and ethical decision making, will make it very appealing to both researchers and students. Sandra Keiser, Mount Mary College, USA

The journal promises to be a lively, interesting publication, where those interested in the practice of fashion design can at last find interesting information and debate about the subject. Gill Stark, American InterContinental University, UK

Fashion Practice is the first peer-reviewed academic journal to cover the full range of contemporary design and manufacture within the context of the fashion industry. Design processes and new technologies fuel the most vibrant areas of fashion practice and commerce today, yet they have been largely ignored by scholarship. Fashion Practice fills this major gap by providing a much-needed forum for topics ranging from design theory to the impact of technology, economics and industry on fashion practice. Interdisciplinary and wide-ranging, Fashion Practice addresses the entire business of fashion, including:

innovation in fashion design and practice
sustainability and ethics within the industry
micro-and nano-technologies within the fashion context
'smart' textiles and digital fashion
materials, design, concepts and process
fashion consumption and production from retail/e-tail to performance fashion
new developments in fashion and clothing retail

The journal encourages submissions from scholars and practitioners working specifically within fashion / apparel, design and business departments, as well as those working on the creative industries from a broad range of social science perspectives.
