Summary:

An anthology of the New York-based journal Fashion Projects. Fashion Projects was founded in New York in 2005 as a zine. It gradually morphed into a larger journal straddling the academic and general interest worlds, with international distribution and an ardent readership. It served as a platform to highlight the importance of fashion within current critical discourses through long-form interviews with a range of curators, critics, artists, and designers. This book collects the best articles from the journal, most issues of which are now unavailable. From exploring the rise of digital fashion media with Penny Martin (the founding editor-in-chief of SHOWstudio) to the continued importance of connoisseurship with Harold Koda (former curator-in-chief of the Met's Costume Institute), the anthology records the increasing centrality of fashion to contemporary critical discourse. The book is an index of a particular time within the fashion studies landscape and the attendant fields of fashion writing, fashion curation, and critical fashion practice during which the field witnessed a meteoric rise.
