Fashion Theory : The Journal of Dress, Body and Culture - Volume 16, Issue 3 (Journal (single-copy journal))

Until Fashion Theory's Launch in 1997 the dressed body had suffered from a lack of critical analysis.

Increasingly scholars have recognised the culotural significance of self-fashioning, including not only clothing but also such body alterations as tattooing and piercing.

All articles have solid theoretical underpinnings and are based on original research.
