Fashion Studies: Research Methods, Sites and Practices 

"The study of fashion has expanded into a thriving field of inquiry, with researchers using methods from a range of disciplines to explore fashion and dress in wide-ranging contexts. Emphasizing material culture and ethnographic approaches in fashion studies, this groundbreaking volume offers fascinating insights into the complex dynamics of research and fashion.

"Fashion Studies features unique case studies by interdisciplinary scholars who reflect on their research experiences. The book provides rich and nuanced perspectives on the use and the mixing and matching of methodological approaches, including object- and image-based research, the integration of qualitative and quantitative methods, and the fluid bridging of theory and practice. Engaging with diverse subjects — from ethnographies of model casting and street-style blogging to wardrobe studies and a material culture analysis of global denim wearing to Martin Margiela's design and archival methods — Fashion Studies presents complex approaches in a lively and informative manner that will appeal to students of fashion, anthropology, sociology, cultural studies, and related fields." —Bloomsbury Publishing
