Fair Data is the New Black
Fashion is an embodied form of culture.It builds on intimate information about the wearer, concerning e.g.body shape, size, age, weight and style.As fashion is digitalized, intimate body data is shared in online environments, which raises novel concerns about the privacy of fashion consumers.This is especially visible in online shopping, which has revolutionized fashion retail and data collection practices in fashion, particularly as concerns the…
Intimate Infrastructures We Depend upon
This essay takes on Lauren Berlant’s mapping of intimacy as ‘connections that impact on people, and on which they depend for living’ in order to address attachments, dependencies, and vulnerabilities in datafied contexts where digital platforms operate as infrastructures of everyday life. Building on interview material, we explore such intimate attachments as ones rife with friction and inconvenience, asking how vulnerabilities emerge and become …
La mode à l’épreuve du genre
S’il est une approche critique qui traverse les histoires et les théories de la mode, c’est bien celle portée par les études de genre. Inscrite dans les premiers recueils de costumes au xvie siècle, visible dans les revues de mode et les tailles standardisées de nos vêtements, la distinction entre les vestiaires pour homme et pour femme est le fruit de constructions sociales et politiques évidentes. Les différentes manières de se vêtir, les proce…
The fashion scandal
During the latter part of the 2010s, many fashion brands – e.g., Gucci, Burberry, Dolce & Gabbana, Prada, Dior – have been caught up with scandals and called out for racism, cultural appropriation and other types of insensitivity towards vulnerable groups. This article will unpack, through critical analysis of some of these examples, the changing landscape of the ‘fashion scandal’ in the late-2010s. We understand fashion scandals as the fuel of f…

How to do humans with fashion
Since the publication of Li Edelkoort’s Anti Fashion Manifesto (2015), fashion scholars are increasingly asking what will become of fashion in the third millennium. Has fashion ended, like Edelkoort claims, or, should we understand fashion differently? The article sees Edelkoort’s manifesto as representative of a moment when fashion scholarship entered a self-critical stage that aimed to redefine fashion beyond consumerism. Recent critiques of fa…
‘I am Lenni’
On 31 May 2015, a self-identified mother, Mari Niinikoski published an open post on Facebook. It was about her son, Lenni, and how adults constantly ridiculed him in various social situations for cross-dressing and for his interest in girly stuff and the colour pink. This article asks why it is a problem that a little boy likes pink and wants to wear a dress? Why is liking ‘girly stuff’ considered detrimental for boys? What is at stake – especial…

Kindergarteners in Vampy Lipstick and Stilettos? On the Sexualization of Little Girls in French Vogue
Debates about little girls' loss of innocence, and the sexualization of girls have become an integral part of media in contemporary culture. Fashion advertising representing young girls and certain types of clothes are specifically prone to generate debates about sexualization. This article looks at the sexualization argument through two sets of fashion editorials, one in a December–January 2011 issue of French Vogue, and another in the December–…

Why are there no lesbian advertisements
This article addresses the issue of femme gaze and desire in relation to a range of heterosexual fashion advertisements from the British edition of the mainstream fashion magazine Vogue. It considers the lasting legacy of heterosexual feminist and lesbian feminist constructions of the gazing subject, particularly in terms of masculinity, trans-sex identification and masquerading. Both of these fields of knowledge have failed to recognize feminine…
A heroic male and a beautiful woman. Teemu Mäki, Orlan and the ambivalence of the grotesque body
In this article two performances are analysed, Finnish artist Teemu Mäki's video performance The Good Friday (1989) and French artist Orlan's performance of metamorphosis The Re-incarnation of Saint Orlan or Image(s)/New Image(s) . The concept of heroic masculinity is problematized through Mäki's masochistic performance. Orlan undergoes cosmetic surgery in the name of art. Her performances are treated as a cultural statement about gender and as a…
