Following the success of the inaugural edition of the award in 2023, 
which saw broad participation, the International Journal of Fashion 
Studies is pleased to announce that we are now accepting entries for the 
International Journal of Fashion Studies Emerging Scholar Award 2025. 
This award is designed to encourage research in emerging, innovative and 
under-researched areas of fashion theory and practice.


We are looking to reward work that rigorously extends the parameters of 
current thinking within fashion studies. Submissions on all relevant 
areas are welcome, but we particularly invite articles considering the 
following areas:

●Fashion as a global industry and practice: the global dynamics of 
fashion, focusing on how fashion is produced, distributed, and consumed 
across international networks in the context of globalization.

●Fashion and its role in shaping individual and social identities: the 
relationship between fashion, personal expression, and the construction 
of social identities, examining how dress reflects and shapes individual 
and collective identities.

●Dress as material culture: understanding clothing as a form of material 
culture, exploring its deep connections with the body, emotions, memory, 
and the imagination.

●Fashion’s multiple unsustainabilities and their potential 
transformations: critical reflections on fashion’s environmental and 
social challenges, and innovative ideas on how these issues are being or 
could be re-envisioned.

●Digital fashion cultures: the impact of evolving digital communication 
technologies, including artificial intelligence and influencer culture, 
on how fashion is created, shared, and experienced.

●Fashion and politics: the role of fashion in political movements, 
activism, and expressions of power and resistance.

●Intersectionality in fashion: how fashion intersects with ethnicity, 
gender, sexuality, class, and ability, and how these dynamics shape 
fashion practices and representations


Submission is open to Ph.D. students and early career researchers (ECR), 
defined as those who obtained their Ph.D. degree within the last five 
years (i.e., awarded no earlier than January 2020). We will prioritize 
first-time applicants.


The winning article will receive a €500 award (this amount is to be 
intended per article, not per author) and will be published in the 
journal following a double-blind peer-review process. Other submissions 
will also be considered for publication in the journal with the 
editorial board providing constructive feedback on any papers of 
interest, allowing them to undergo the peer-review process.
