About this book
Fashion and Feeling: The Affective Politics of Dress explores the complex nexus of fashion and the feeling body from a variety of critical perspectives across fashion studies, anthropology, sociology, design practice, and media studies. It asks such questions as: What does fashion look and feel like in an age dominated by amplified anxiety, isolation, depression, and precariousness? How are feelings woven into clothing and mobilized through fashion practices in ways that might sustain living with a sense of ongoing crisis? Does fashion have the potential to help us reimagine new lifeworlds which might be reinvigorating? In other words, how is fashion engaging with the “bad,” the “good,” and the ambivalent feelings associated with our personal and collective histories, with our troubled political present, and with our imagined future? Despite such diverse and scattered contributions, the potentialities of “feeling” for the study of fashion arestill largely neglected. This edited volume seeks to tease out possible avenues of investigation of the clothed body and its representations through the lens of feeling.

Reviews
“This edited volume explores the intersection of fashion and the feeling body. ... The volume is organized thematically across eighteen chapters in four sections. ... this volume ultimately registers a set of political and affective concerns that can orient and guide strands of contemporary fashion scholarship, research, and practice, and at the same time bring additional complexity and nuance to understanding the significance of the body in fashion.” (Todd Robinson, Fashion Theory, February 1, 2024)
“Fashion and Feeling crests a wave of affect-related fashion studies which has gathered with increasing urgency in recent years; in doing so it serves admirably as both theoretical primer and instructive exhibition of the field’s potential avenues of application. … this collection succeeds in inspiring more than it forecloses.” (Alec Holt, Journal of Design History, December 4, 2023)
