[ecrea] CFP -- Exploring the Intersections of Fashion, Film, and Media

*CALL FOR PAPERS*

*Special issue:* Exploring the Intersections of Fashion, Film, and Media

*Journal:* Networking Knowledge, Journal of the MeCCSA Postgraduate network


Since the turn of the 20th century, the film industry has played a key 
role in the promotion and representation of fashion. Likewise, fashion's 
mediated character through newsreels, television, newspapers, magazines, 
photography, and even paintings has facilitated the study of costume and 
dress history. Film scholars have dedicated efforts to the study of 
fashion and film, focusing mostly—but not exclusively—on matters of 
representation through costume design. Significant contributions from 
scholars like Jane Gaines (1990), Stella Bruzzi (2012), and Adrienne 
Munich (2003)—among others—have paved the way for an interdisciplinary 
approach to study fashion from a film and media perspective, and shaped 
a multitude of intercultural links between cinema and other media 
practices. Far from being an exhausted topic, however, the intersections 
between the fashion and film industries offer a vast potential for 
historical research that is increasingly becoming of interest to 
scholars around the globe.


This call for papers seeks to widen the existing research network, 
gathering articles from postgraduate students and early career 
researchers from different backgrounds with a dedicated interest in 
researching the intersections between fashion, film and media, inviting 
them to present historical case studies that provide an overview of the 
ways in which these areas of study overlap and intertwine. We will 
prioritize historical studies based on archival research as a principal 
methodology.


*Possible topics might include, but are not limited to: *

• Product placement of fashion products in films.

• Representation of fashion in film.

• Fashion and media practices.

• Fashion magazines

• Fashion photography/photographers

• Fashion in film fan magazines
