Critical Studies in Fashion & Beauty 15.1 is out now! Special Issue

Intellect is pleased to announce that Critical Studies in Fashion & Beauty 15.1 is out now!

Special Issue: ‘Transgender Embodiment in Fashion and Beauty’

Despite vast scholarship on LGBTQ+ fashion, within fashion studies there is still a relative lack of engagement with transgender identities and epistemologies. ‘Transgender Embodiment in Fashion and Beauty’ interrogates how trans people and their experiences have been minimized within fashion studies and argues for an expansive and interdisciplinary understanding of what trans fashion studies might be.

Aims & Scope

Critical Studies in Fashion & Beauty (CSFB) engages analytically, critically and creatively with fashion and/or beauty. It aims to challenge issues such as a) the conflation of fashion and beauty, b) the exclusion of masculinities, people of colour, older adults, differentially abled individuals, and queer and transgender subjectivities in fashion and/or beauty discourse and c) the blurring of distinct fashion and/or beauty industries. The journal seeks to foster more diverse and inclusive ways of understanding the field and to propel fresh theoretical and methodological approaches to the study of fashion.

This title is indexed with Scopus and the Web of Science’s Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI).
