The Datafication and Quantification of Fashion
The article approaches the field of fashion influencers as an instance of the pervasive power of datafication and quantification in everyday life. It discusses the role of metrics in the fashion influencer economy, and the quantification of the self it goes hand in hand with, a quantification that is also an object of struggle in the field of influencer marketing. Drawing on conceptual tools such as “like economy” and “data capitalism,” as well a…
A Good Life? Critical Feminist Approaches to Influencer Ecologies
Social media platforms are widely lauded as bastions for entrepreneurial self-actualisation and creative autonomy, offering an answer to historically exclusive and hierarchical creative industries as routes to employability and success. Social media influencers are envied by audiences as having achieved ‘the good life’, one in which they are able to ‘do what they love’ for a living (Duffy 2017). Despite this ostensive accessibility and relatabili…

Mediatization and Digital Media in the Field of Fashion
This article shows the relevance of the concept of “mediatization” for understanding the contemporary field of fashion and its relation to digital media. It first gives an overview of definitions of mediatization. It then shows that the production of fashion, such as the staging of catwalk shows and the design of collections, is being molded by and for the media, as is its retailing. Finally, the article discusses the relation between the wearing…
Academic writing in the fashion studies
The internationalization of fashion studies
The International Journal of Fashion Studies argues that the reception of contributions from countries with less visibility in English-language academic publications has been long overdue. This is why it has set as its main aim the dissemination of the work of non-anglophone scholars who write in their first language by publishing their writings in English translation. To do so, the journal has put into place a peer-reviewing process whereby it r…
On the issue of sustainability in fashion studies
In recent years sustainability has been at the forefront of some of the most stimulating reflections on fashion. It is also the main topic of the second issue of the International Journal of Fashion Studies. This had not been planned and is the fortuitous result of the peer reviewing process. But this coincidence is symptomatic of a significant trend in contemporary fashion studies. This editorial gives an overview of the current state of studies…
Hypertextuality and Remediation in the Fashion Media
Since their appearance in the early noughties, fashion blogs have established themselves as a central platform for the circulation of fashion-related news and information. Often the creation of fashion outsiders, they have entered the mainstream fashion media, bringing to light the shifting nature of fashion journalism. The paper discusses the rise of the fashion blogosphere and the impact of new technologies on the mediation of fashion. Drawing …
Personal Fashion Blogs
Since their appearance at the beginning of the millennium, fashion blogs have become key players in the field of fashion. One type in particular, personal fashion blogs, where bloggers post pictures of themselves documenting their style, has established itself as a central form of fashion blogging. This is the type of blogs that this article concentrates on. By bringing together various technologies of the self it argues that the blogs represent …
Blogs personnels de mode
Depuis leur apparition au début duxxie siècle, les blogs consacrés à la mode se sont affirmés comme une plateforme de choix pour l'articulation de pratiques de mode. Les blogs personnels de mode en particulier, sur lesquels les blogueuses postent des images d'elles-mêmes, constituent un espace de construction identitaire à travers lequel se joue la position ambivalente des femmes dans la société contemporaine. L'écran de l'ordinateur devient une …
Blogs de mode
Le champ de la mode a depuis peu vu l’apparition d’une nouvelle forme de communication digitale : le blogging. Il existe maintenant une multitude de blogs indépendants de mode. Les rédacteurs et leurs audiences y privilégient un ton informel, le quotidien, favorisant ainsi une représentation de la mode comme pratique ordinaire mais néanmoins créative, un sujet de conversation propre à la mise en place de liens digitaux
La femme des foules
Cet article interroge l’appropriation de la figure de la passante dans les images de mode. Contrastant cette figure avec celle du flâneur, il analyse le thème du genre des pratiques de la ville et des présences masculines et féminines en ses rues. Le jeu du regard propre à la ville – l’observation de l’autre et de son apparence – est analysé à travers la représentation, dans les magazines de mode, de la présence féminine dans l’espace urbain et l…
Paris, Capitale de la Mode
Over to You”
Although there is now a significant body of work devoted to the study of women’s magazines, comparatively little attention has been paid to the sub-genre of fashion magazines. This paper is devoted to the latter, more specifically Vogue Paris. Moreover, while readers’ pages have for a long time been a regular feature of the written media, their significance in the press remains unaccounted for. Through the selecting, editing, or even, some would …
The Field of Fashion Materialized
This article, based on two studies of the fashion industry examines one of its key institutions, London Fashion Week (LFW). Drawing on the work of Bourdieu, we argue that this event is a materialization of the field of fashion.We examine how LFW renders visible the boundaries, relational positions, capital and habitus at play in the field, reproducing critical divisions within it.As well as making visible the field, LFW is a ceremony of consecrat…
Fields of Fashion
Bourdieu’s sociology of culture has been central to studies of consumption. However, although it offers rich insights into his sociology of cultural production and consumption, his work in the field of fashion has been little discussed. This article explores some of Bourdieu’s main ideas, namely the notions of field and subfield, the concept of transsubstantiation, that of symbolic production, and the idea of a dialectic of distinction-pretension…
Le Monde's discours de mode
This paper is the second in a series of articles I have written on the, as yet, largely unexplored field of fashion journalism. It is also part of my long-running critical engagement with the French fashion media and the discursive construction of the French field of fashion. Discourses on fashion are sites where different versions of fashion are constructed, diverse meanings and values attributed to it, and ultimately where different notions of …
