What is Fashion Studies?

Fashion Studies is a multifaceted discipline that investigates the history, theory, social functions and aesthetics of fashion. Students and researchers utilize an interdisciplinary approach to the subject. Fashion is analyzed from different perspectives e.g. as an aesthetical object, a cultural phenomenon, an industrial system and a marker of identity. Read more about Fashion Studies
