ZMJ Call For Papers: Fashioning Opera. Stage and Screen Costumes Across Cultures
type: item
description: The profound meaning of the word “costume” in the Italian language goes beyond the narrow boundaries of “vestimenta”. In fact, costumes are bodies. In this respect, fashion – looked at both as a spiritual fact and applied art – opens up a considerable field of study for historians, aesthetes, and scholars alike. It is significant that it is in Italy that the concept of “costume” understood as the proposition or re-proposal of an event, as the representation of a fact – whether fictitious or not –, and as a means of transforming the performer into what he is not, took shape. In Italy, the creative explosion experienced through the last thirty years of the twentieth century did not only refer to opera costumes, because fashion designers too experienced a fertile and très jolie period at that time. Fashion and opera became arenas for collaboration. The partnership is a fruitful one: the most theatrical of arts can inspire the most visionary fashion designers to create extraordinary costumes for extraordinary productions. Several Italian designers have tried their hand at theatrical costume: Gianni Versace, Giorgio Armani, Valentino Garavani, Ottavio and Rosita Missoni are just a few names. Versace worked several times with the Belgian choreographer Maurice Bejart in the production of ballets and tried his hand at opera. Giorgio Armani, with his dry and essential style, has often dealt with opera productions where his taste was required; and Ottavio and Rosita Missoni have participated in various opera shows. During the season 2009/2010, Viktor & Rolf, Miuccia Prada, Emanuel Ungaro, and Christian Lacroix made successful sorties as costume designers for operas in New York, Baden-Baden, Naples, and Berlin. Beyond and off the theatrical stage, opera and film have enjoyed a close relationship since the beginning of cinema. In the silent era, operatic stories and stars graced the screen, and opera music was played live. Through the sound era and the advent of television, ope…

ZMJ Call For Papers: Inclusive Fashion
type: item
description: Inclusivity is an increasingly challenging, and challenged, topic, in research and in the public arena. In each sphere, contested terms take on specific stakes and characters. In fashion too, inclusivity’s various dimensions are debated. Among these dimensions, attention has been devoted firstly and particularly to the inclusion of diversity of body size, age, race or ethnicity, and gender in the shaping of accepted beauty canons, in their representation and more generally in the workings of the global ‘fashion system’. More recently still, disability has also entered the scene, and the catwalk: its inclusion is enabling reflections not only on the extension of canons and on inclusive representation, but on the very function of canons, on notions of care, body and vulnerability, prompting a questioning of the conditions of fashion production, mediation and consumption for everybody. However, the ‘rise’ of inclusivity also has its opponents, and dedicated scholarly attention is crucial to provide solid theoretical grounding and empirical evidence to inform, and keep alive, the public debate. Since the mid-2010s, fashion has been forced to respond to significant shifts, becoming a catalyst for change and an essential platform for discussions on inclusivity, fundamentally transforming the industry's dynamics. Yet, the UK Fashion DEI Report 2024, reveals a gap between image and reality, highlighting stalled progress and the urgent need for structural change. In this context, it is crucial to reflect on and recognize the needs and aspirations of diverse subjectivities, including those explicitly or implicitly excluded from dominant models. This special issue of ZoneModa Journal provides a platform for advances in the critical scholarship on fashion and inclusivity, with a particular — though not exclusive — focus on disability and the intersectionality of exclusions. We invite theoretical reflections, case studies, including historical or contemporary analyses, with any …

ZMJ Call For Papers: From Art Nouveau to Green Design: Fashion, Décor, Fashion Writing
type: item
description: The aesthetic of Art Nouveau relied on shapes of flowers and plants, its heydays begin the fin de siècle and the beginning of the twentieth century. Wrought iron was a must material in decoration of railings, balcony parapets, window frames and main entrance doors; wrought iron was mass produced and malleable enough to be made to imitate vegetable life. Nowadays figures of flowers and vegetation have become fashionable again in woven materials for clothes, wall paper and upholstery. The turn green movement is now dominant in the world of fashion and the consumer society in all sorts of design contexts; it deals with, and boosts, the recycling of garments and a large variety of fabrics and objects, the so-called “vintage” fashion, which somehow includes the re-use of “biological” leftovers and “waste”- to a degree in imitation of the artistic movement akin to “arte povera” – in the manufacture of furniture, housewares, garden tools. Examples can be the reuse of orange skin to make compostable, biodegradable tools – through 3D printers – and of nut shells to manufacture items of furniture. This issue of the Journal investigates the role of green aesthetics in fashion, design, and in fashion literature and writing, in the specialized fashion media and in the new media: Trees, leaves, flowers, fruits, vegetables, seeds in fashion and design Upholstery and clothes in vegetal fibers and natural materials Fabrics for clothes, hats, accessories in print and/or in the morphology of flowers and vegetals Vintage, recycling and re-fashioning Brands, logos, labelling, fabric and cloth texture Fashion writing and literature Design and book covers Green aesthetics in the new media and in websites Submissions Abstracts of no more than 1000 words + 5 bibliographical references (word*.docx format), written either in Italian or English, must be sent to: zmj@unibo.it; carmen.concilio@unito.it. Abstract acceptance does not guarantee publication of the article, which will be submitted to…

ZMJ Call For Papers. Activating the Archive: Uses and Reuses of the Historical and Cultural Heritage of Fashion Companies
type: item
description: For long-lived fashion companies, the archive serves as a means of preserving and, when necessary, activating historical memory for strategic and operational purposes. It is a valuable resource that preserves the company's history and ensures the transmission of assets to future generations. It provides access to a tangible and intangible heritage increasingly used as a key input for projects. Generally closed to public consultation, the archive of fashion houses stratifies heterogeneous and polymaterial objects with high symbolic value, repositories of expressive qualities, styles, technical skills, knowledge, shared experiences, and meanings that can be exploited to define innovative products, processes, and services. Together with garments and accessories, this type of archive usually preserves sources that reconstruct the process of creating and producing specific iconic pieces and entire collections. In addition, it includes a wealth of material that tracks brands' strategies and communication codes, allowing luxury companies to trace the events that shaped their history and prestige. Correspondence folders, invitations, posters, press kits, lookbooks, corporate catalogues, brochures, periodicals, newspaper cuttings, institutional monographs, as well as large sets of photographs and audiovisuals, allow to document and maintain the links with unique and inimitable past, which is a decisive factor in distinctively positioning the brand. Although the list is not exhaustive, it provides a glimpse of the range of objects that fashion houses preserve. When properly reformulated, updated, and contextualised, these objects may have an unanticipated strategic value, contributing to a sustainable competitive advantage. To achieve this goal, companies have recently started organising their heritage through product archives, leading to a series of connected enhancement actions. Viewed from this perspective, the archive functions as an 'active agent': not only ensuring the …

ZMJ Call For Papers: Fashioning Masculinities. The Art of Cinematic Menswear
type: item
description: “Menswear is a performative place, in which dressing is the element of both conformism and subversion.” This is how the reasons for the important exhibition at the Victoria & Albert Museum Fashioning Masculinities are told to us. Nowadays we live in a moment of great creative freedom, designers are breaking down and questioning the stereotypes linked to male dressing, fashion becomes a tool of expression on gender and society (See Brajato, Fashion and Gender, 2023). Does the same happen in the audiovisual landscape? What paths does gender fluidity take in the world of cinema, television series, and the celebrity system in general? ZoneModa Journal invites you to present proposal for a monographic issue on Fashioning Masculinities: The Art of Cinematic Menswear, which aims to answer some of these questions. Through an interdisciplinary approach, the issue intends to explore the dialogue between fashion and audiovisual with respect to the two gender hemispheres, male and female, their identity and needs, but also their interaction and hybridization. If the "feminine" has always been the object of great attention, both from the point of view of celebrity studies and from that of cinematographic costume and its impact on the universe of fashion, the "masculine" is (or has been) less so. Fashion and "dressing" within an audiovisual narrative are agents of redefinition. In this context, the aim is to observe fashion and "dressing" as agents of redefinition of gender narratives in cinematographic and media contexts, paying close attention to the production context, to the professional figures of the audiovisual industry (costume designers, art directors) which play a crucial role in the creation of a narrative universe that makes clothing an essential means of expression for the character, contributing substantially to the definition of the aesthetics and visual message of the film. From a critical-theoretical point of view, the volume goes beyond the analysis of professio…

ZMJ Call For Papers: Fashion and History. How Fashion Has Written History
type: item
description: Fashion studies are frequently accompanied by historical studies. The focus on fashion, customs and clothing has paid attention to neglected historical aspects and show how a society has actually evolved. Suffice it to give an example, that of gender history. Perhaps no other sector has been so interested in the history of women, showing how infinite forms of social control have passed through clothes through the disciplining of the body (in the sense indicated by Foucault) with devices such as corsets and crinolines; how battles of emancipation based on the ‘legitimacy’ of a certain garment have been played out; how pre-established roles related to the shape and functionality of the clothes have been drawn; above all, how the diversity in the cultural construction of the female and male bodies has been literally traced. In an equally interesting way, many studies have shown how men's clothing is both the result and the agent of a different form of sociality and physical presence in the world, compared to the female one, and that it also varies significantly over time. Similar discourses can be made regarding the role of visual history, pioneeringly used in the field of Fashion studies and the many intersections between fashion and politics, which vary from the meaning of military uniforms to that of party dress symbolisms up to the new forms of representation of power in the mass media. Fashion and power are also visibly exposed in the narrative of colonialism and post-colonialism, with the clothes of the colonizers versus the local clothes of the colonized, in a subsequent complex discourse of appropriation and hybridization, and much more. Zonemoda Journal invites you to submit a paper for a monographic issue dedicated to fashion in its various historical expressions, without distinction of geographical areas, with a main focus on the Early modern-Modern periods. The studies submitted can be theoretical reflections on a specific topic or historical case-studies. …

ZMJ Call For Papers: Fashion and Gender
type: item
description: If “[f]ashion is obsessed with gender, defines and redefines the gender boundary,” as fashion scholar Elizabeth Wilson claims (2003: 117), it seems that in the past decade this obsession has been more emphasized than ever. With the appearance of multiple neologisms in mainstream debates, such as genderless, agender, non-binary, and genderfluid, reflecting the proliferation of more encompassing and inclusive sexual and gender identities (Cover 2018), contemporary fashion presents an important terrain in which these social and cultural shifts in the perception of gender are both represented and embodied. However, if, on the one hand, the hegemonic conformities of the fashion industry are being challenged through the call for a more inclusive and diverse understanding and representation of gender, on the other hand, today’s polarized daily life and political landscape are becoming so strongly divided between systems which either celebrate difference and diversity or strive to establish uniformity and certainty. Indeed, while fashion shows, advertisements, and magazines are advancing a fluid reality where gender categories are gradually becoming blurred, our everyday life is still all too often a scenario of discrimination, and verbal and physical abuse towards nonconforming gender, sexualities, and aesthetic practices. In line with the exponentially increasing interest in the field of fashion studies in critical scholarship on fashion, gender, and the body, ZoneModa Journal invites you to present a proposal for a monographic issue on fashion and gender. The aim of the issue is to encourage and develop critical, intersectional, and innovative thinking around the contemporary complexities concerning this important topic in the industry and everyday life. We therefore welcome submissions that explore, but are not limited to, the following: Trans, genderqueer, and non-binary embodiments and representations Global perspectives on new developments in fashion and gender Femin…

ZMJ Call For Papers: Fashion and Tourism in Transition
type: item
description: Volume 11 n. 2, 2021 Gianluigi Di Giangirolamo, University of Bologna Alessia Mariotti, University of Bologna This call for papers of ZoneModa Journal is devoted to the relationship between fashion and tourism, and it aims to investigate the main similarities, divergences, influences, connections, and interactions between these two sectors. From an academic point of view, both the fashion and tourism industries are considered a field of studies. In other words, they are two complex topics of research requiring interpretation and analytical frameworks from different and often quite distinct disciplines. What are the interactions between these two sectors, and how can the multidisciplinary approach help read the many different social, economic, and cultural dimensions they intersect? How have these interactions changed in an age of strong dematerialization of experience due to the pandemic? In "tourism studies", fashion has been mainly investigated from an urban perspective, i.e. in the relationship between the tourist attractiveness of cities and their market characterization as fashion capitals. In other words, fashion becomes a tool through which the tourism product can be diversified, or it can be a relevant topic for its contribution to the events system as a multiplier of visitor's flows. More recently, the relevance of the role of cultural and creative industries within the social sciences, both in the process of acknowledging and developing intangible heritage and of enhancing the value of artistic and craft products, has opened up new scenarios for an interdisciplinary and intersectoral debate between tourism and fashion. In creative tourism, fashion practices broaden the concept of culture itself, allowing further analysis of the relationship between these two sectors. In the case of fashion studies, the interest of researchers in interactions with the world of tourism has been much more restricted: studies are mainly focused on the area of marketing and man…

ZMJ Call For Papers: Rethinking Fashion Brands in The Era of Digital Media
type: item
description: Volume 11 n. 1, 2021 MariachiaraColucci, University of Bologna Marco Pedroni, eCampus University Over the last two decades, the process of digitization has deeply reshaped the dynamics of the field of fashion. Scholarly debate has framed the overall societal changes in this regard under the category of mediatization. The relevance of media has been recognized «in the social construction of everyday life, society, and culture as a whole» (Krotz 2009: 24), something that makes mediatization a kind of meta-process «grounded in the modification of communication as the basic practice of how people construct the social and cultural world» (ibid.: 26). The mediatization of society works as a process «whereby society to an increasing degree is submitted to, or becomes dependent on, the media and their logic» (Hjarvard 2008: 113). Fashion has a problematic relationship with digital media. On the one hand, fashion bloggers and influencers set the foundations of the influencer marketing that is now largely expanding in all the lifestyle-related industries. On the other, the fashion industry has become able to exploit the advantages of digitization later than other cultural industries. Nonetheless, it could not avoid to be involved in this «mediatization of everything» (Livingstone 2009: x). Fashion is subject to mediatization in a variety of ways (Rocamora 2017) affecting the processes of designing, producing, distributing, promoting and consuming clothes. This special issue aims to understand how digitization is affecting the domain of fashion, with particular attention to the role of fashion brands. Accordingly, we invite scholars to deal with a set of questions in the light of digitization and mediatization: How do fashion brands, whether mass-market or established maisons, interface with their audience, advertise their products, reach their targets, finalize the sale, and retain the consumers? How has physical retail been transformed by digital, whether in-store or out-sto…

ZMJ Call for papers: Fashion, Technology, and Social Distancing
type: item
description: Volume 10.2, 2020 Editor: Gustavo Marfia (University of Bologna) In the history of humanity, the adoption of technologies is constantly accelerating (Denning and Lewis 2020). The time elapsed from the invention to the mass adoption of the telegraph, about eighty years, that required for the widespread diffusion of the telephone, sixty years, electricity (thirty three years), color TV (fifteen years) and social media (twelve). In this perspective, an interesting question for everyone, but also for consumers, fashion professionals, and scholars is: “Which of the technologies nowadays in an early adoption state will become mainstream in the near future?”. In order to answer this question, we circumscribe an ecosystem consisting of three computer technologies, which are currently going through different stages in terms of maturity, but which will doubtless sooner or later influence and modify future scenarios, both from the point of view of consumers and fashion experts and practitioners. The first of these technologies is already in the process of altering many of the situations to which humanity is accustomed, Artificial Intelligence. Even in an economic sector with a strong creative drive, such as fashion, more and more scenarios are imagined in which artificial intelligence tools can prove decisive, not only in relation to aspects related to sales, production and logistics, but also in relation to those related to the design of new collections and the identification of future trends (IBM Research – AI for Fashion). The second technology, the Internet of Things, already well integrated in the industrial world in general, finds space in the value chain of the fashion system and to a lesser extent in clothes and accessories in the form of wearable technologies. The third and latest technology taken into consideration in this call, Extended Reality (which includes Virtual and Augmented Reality), has been experimented by the main fashion brands for some years, especially…

ZMJ Call For Papers: Deconstruction
type: item
description: Volume 10 n.1, 2020 Editors: Stefano Marino (University of Bologna), Ines Tolic (University of Bologna) Deconstruction, understood both as a philosophical doctrine or concept (and hence as theory) and as practice of planning and realization, emerged during the 1970s and 1980s and rapidly disseminated in all fields of cultural, artistic and media production. After some decades since its inception, and on the basis of the persistence of deconstruction at least in some domains, the “ZoneModa Journal” monographic issue dedicated to deconstruction in 2020 aims at assessing the situation of deconstruction in our time and at inquiring into its consequences and implications. We especially invite authors to submit contributions focused on the several ramifications and intersections of deconstructive theories and practices in different but nevertheless always connected fields, such as, for example, philosophy, fashion, architecture, art, design, literature and music. Submissions Abstracts of no more than 1000 words + 5 bibliographical references (word *.docx format), written either in Italian or English, must be sent to: zmj@unibo.it Abstract acceptance does not guarantee publication of the article, which will be submitted to a double-blind peer-review process.

ZMJ Call for papers: Global Fashion
type: item
description: Volume 9.2, 2019 Editors: Wessie Ling (Northumbria University), Mariella Lorusso (Bologna University) and Simona Segre Reinach (Bologna University) The globalisation of fashion is a heterogeneous process operating in various forms of national subjectivity within an instable hierarchy. It flows in an uneven path and is marked by continual global interactions. Its outcome is the very history of fashion, a history made up of differences, inequalities and the intriguing relation of Europe with the rest of the world. Entwined within are power relations, historical, political and economic interventions. The dynamics of globalisation have taken the place, space and images of the pre-existing colonial relationships. It is no longer a question of integrating western views of fashion with the one Others have on themselves. Rather, recognising the various voices and forces is quintessential in comprehending the making of global fashion. The making of global fashion in the 21st century is a transglobal project involving a network of transcultural agencies and cross-border activities. Like culture, it is never a pure entity. Underneath its layer, global fashion-making is a transcultural mosaic onto which authenticity is often glossed over for the purpose of marketing and economic veins. It is therefore useful to know the directions in which ideas and trade have moved, to overcome old stereotypes, and also to renounce the claim of “pure” sartorial identities, those of product, consumption and communication, which perhaps have never existed and certainly do not exist today. This monographic issue considers Global Fashion as a process of exchanges, encounters and interaction interplayed by ambiguity, contradiction and power imbalance. The aim of the issue is to go beyond regional study which relies on case study from different parts of the world to withstand the global dimension. We intend to offer a new approach to help readers to understand the global dynamics behind the multiple…

ZMJ Call for papers: The Eighties
type: item
description: Guest editor: Fabriano Fabbri ZoneModa Journal invites you to present proposal for a monographic issue on the Eighties. Among the decades of the last century, the Eighties probably represent the most popular period, vividly transgenerational, the most imitated in the nostalgic commemorations of teenagers at the time now grown up as adults, the most extravagant and colorful. Recognizable for style, innovations, creativity, for all the features that have characterized their rich physiognomy, wrongly or rightly the Eighties have earned themselves the title of most excessive and superficial decade of the Twentieth Century. Yet, after a certain time, the Eighties have never been truly and systematically approached: they’re certainly talked about, but no unitary research exists to focus on the cultural offer of this decade. ZoneModa Journal aims at gathering a historical and interpretational anthology of the Eighties phenomenon concentrating on its multiple faces. By nature, this decade embodies the guidelines of the so called “postmodernism”, overused and often misunderstood as a notion, nevertheless still very useful in framing the most evident dynamics of the Eighties. These rotate mostly around the recycle and pastiche of pre-existing materials, like a sort of “eternal return” ruled by the filter of irony and quotation. Among contemporary disciplines, fashion is one of the most suitable channels of observation to identify the spirit of the Eighties, that thanks to the creativity of Versace, Moschino, Alberta Ferretti and other protagonists of the revivalist-quotationist line, in Italy distinguishes for the backward look on the history and on the clothing codes of Greek-roman world and Baroque. Something similar happens in France, where Jean Paul Gaultier, Christian Lacroix, Thierry Mugler etc. are very skillful in remixing styles inspired by Versailles and pop culture. Indeed, pop culture is another focus point to zoom on, starting from music, above all the “new roman…
