Description

Fashion Criticism: An Anthology brings together two centuries of previously uncollected articles and writings to explore the history of fashion criticism in the English language. From avant-garde modernist magazines at the beginning of the twentieth century to contemporary style sections, this anthology examines the shift in newspapers and the work of cultural critics and writers on fashion.

It covers the contributions of influential figures such as Susan Sontag, Eve Babitz, Bebe Moore Campbell, Angela Carter, and Hilton Als, among others. The book also delves into the gender dynamics of the field and its historical association with the feminine, demonstrating how fashion has gained ground as a subject of critical analysis.

With articles from Oscar Wilde's editorials to the ground-breaking fashion journalism of the 1980s, this anthology will be an essential resource for students of fashion studies, media, and journalism. It provides a unique insight into the evolution of fashion criticism and its role in negotiating shifting gender roles and understandings of race.
