ZoneModa Journal invites you to present proposal for a monographic issue on Fashion and Communication. The goal is to explore relationships, convergences and possible discrepancies between these two fields.

More precisely, the issue’s aim would be to encourage  and develop a critical and innovative thinking within the fashion territory, in either a theoretical or practical perspective. Through historical analysis and new developments, fashion communication - along with its spread and awareness - plays more than ever a pivotal role in the varied tapestry of our contemporary society.    

We therefore invite you to submit contributions on these following topics:   

  • Evolution of fashion journalism and trends analysis 
  • Fashion and visual comunication 
  • Advertising vocabulary and fashion journalism 
  • Fashion  comunication through exbibitions 
  • Web Journalism 
  • Genderless fashion: a new comunication 
  • Fashion Journalism: training and practices
