“Fashion and Museums is timely, fascinating and rigorous: international in scope, it embraces history, practice and theory. Some contributors are on the cusp of their careers, others established with a wealth of experience. The diversity and distinction of their preoccupations adds further insights. It will undoubtedly become a core text.” AMY DE LA HAYE, Rootstein Hopkins Chair of Dress History and Curatorship, London College of Fashion, UK Fashion and Museums Theory and Practice Why is fashion “in fashion” in museums today? This timely volume brings together expert scholars and curators to examine the reasons behind fashion’s popularity in the twenty-first century museum and the impact this has had on wider museum practice. Chapters explore the role of fashion in the museum across a range of international case studies including the Costume Institute at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, The Fashion Museum at Bath, ModeMuseum in Antwerp and many more. Contributions look at topics such as how fashion has made museums accessible to diverse audiences and how curators present broader themes and issues such as gender, class and technology innovatively through exhibiting fashion. Drawing on approaches from dress history, fashion studies, museum studies and curatorship, this engaging book will be key reading for students and scholars across a range of disciplines. Marie Riegels MELCHIOR is Assistant Professor at University of Copenhagen, Denmark. Birgitta SVENSSON is Professor and holder of the Hallwyl chair in European Ethnology at Nordiska museet and Stockholm University, Sweden.
