*The Journal*

SComs – Studies in Communication Sciences SComS is an international open
access journal of communication research that is jointly edited by the
Swiss Association of Communication and Media Studies (SGKM) and the
Faculty of Communication Sciences of USI – Università della Svizzera

The aim of this *special issue* is to promote new theoretical and
empirical interdisciplinary research on how various communication
practices impact upon fashion industry and on societal fashion-related
practices and values. A more explicit recognition of the role played by
communication in fashion could offer new and exciting directions for
research and may help better understanding the actual needs of the
market in order to enhance practices within the sector.

All types of research are invited for the application, including
empirical/case studies, evaluation/impact studies, assessments,
ePortfolios, etc.

Theory development: adaptations of existing theoretical frameworks to
better explain how communication formats work in the fashion domain, and
measurement issues of the new formats of fashion communication are
especially invited.

All contributions should be innovative and should advance the knowledge
base of related fields.

Submitted papers will go through a double-blind peer-review process.
