Ciné-luxe: Les Films De Marques À l'Ère De l'Économie Des Plateformes
Avec l'essor de l'impact économique des réseaux sociaux, les marques de luxe ont cessé d'être des maisons de création pour se transformer en studios hybrides produisant des créations concrètes et du contenu numérique en accordant à la vidéo une place plus importante dans l'ensemble de leurs stratégies de communication. Les médias sociaux ont redéfini l'image de mode en la repositionnant comme catégorie de contenu de marque à travers la disséminat…
After fashion film: Social video and brand content in the influencer economy
Luxury and designer fashion brands today produce as much digital content and branded entertainment as they do design and product. Online video is a key part of that production. In this article, the author questions whether the use of the generic term ‘fashion film’ is still relevant to discussions of the moving image in the digital age. He does this by examining a range of promotional uses of the moving image by the fashion industry – by brands s…

New French Luxury: Art, Fashion and the Re-Invention of a National Brand
The language of luxury goods in the early twenty-first century increasingly resembles the language of art – terms such as “investment piece” or “limited edition” are now integrated into fashion discourse. Concentrated in the main French corporate holdings – LVMH and Kering, or in privately owned companies such as Hermès and Chanel – the global luxury fashion brands now invest heavily in the art market to expand their influence across a broad spec…
Raf Simons and Interdisciplinary Fashion from Post-Punk to Neo-Modern
Since the launch of his menswear label in 1995, Belgian designer Raf Simons has consistently caught the zeitgeist of contemporary fashion, supplying menswear with a range of styles, shapes, and symbols that articulate ideals of masculinity, influenced by European pop music, youth subcultures, mid-century fine art, modernist architecture, and interior design. This article examines the interdisciplinary relationship between Simons’ designs and thei…
Boys Keep Swinging: The Fashion Iconography of Hedi Slimane
The arrival of designer Hedi Slimane at Christian Dior in 2000 marked an epoch change in men's style. Slimane's reputation is founded on having streamlined and rejuvenated the male silhouette through the promotion of a skinny style appropriated from youth subcultures. Slimane's rebranding of the Dior menswear line (from the fusty Christian Dior Monsieur to the hip Dior Homme) adapted a range of urban street styles to suit the in-house tradition o…

French Queer Cinema
French Queer Cinema looks at queer self-representation in contemporary auteur film and experimental video in France. Whilst there is growing research on representations of queer sexualities in France, this is the first comprehensive study of the cultural formation and critical reception of contemporary queer film and video. French Queer Cinema addresses the socio-political context informing both queer DIY video and independent gay cinema, includi…
Kiffe La Racaille: Arab Masculinity and Queer Fantasy in France
La Confusion des Genres: Transsexuality, Effeminacy and Gay Identity in France
‘La confusion des genres’ (translatable as genre – but also gender – trouble) indicates a category error. I take up the argument that ‘transgender’ (the umbrella term for transsexuality and broad cross-gender identification – transgender butch/queen and drag) articulates uncertainty as to the categories of gender and sexual identities. My aim is to expose the strains between transsexual and lesbian and gay identities in the French context through…
