This special issue of Film, Fashion and Consumption explores the 
relationship between fashion and television at the level of production, 
text and audience. While there is an important body of work on film and 
onscreen clothing, the study of television costume/fashion continues to 
be marginalised within the academy. Yet, as Sarah Street notes, 
‘costumes are a key element of television dramas, soaps, sit-coms and 
even the news’ (Street, 2002: 103). This issue seeks to address this 
imbalance and invites articles on any aspect of television and fashion 
with the aim of developing a foundation upon which we may build a more 
precise understanding of fashion and television form.

Topics may include (but are not limited to) the following:

* TV, fashion and Celebrity Culture

* TV, fashion and new media
* TV genre and fashion
* Audiences/Consumers of fashion and television
* TV Production, costume and fashion
* TV and costume/fashion as spectacle
* TV history and fashion
* National Identity, TV and Fashion
* TV, fashion and Identity - sex and sexuality, ‘race’ and ethnicity 
and/or class
