Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ecofashion brings together new perspectives for the field of fashion studies, asking a compelling set of research questions related to consumption practices and sustainability at a time of environmental crisis. The volume begins with a discussion of keywords used by theorists and the industry to address ecologically oriented fashion practices, including the rationale behind the usage of "ecofashion." Articles address natural looks that emerged in the 1960s, the rise of "green as the new black" at the beginning of the twenty-first century, recycling and the appeal of "slow fashion," and the science that informs the making of environmentally conscious garments. Other articles show how these concepts are linked to mass-market trends underway in the globalized political economy, offering especially important connections for scholars who seek to bridge fashion theory to issues of concern in environmental and global studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Special Issue: Australian Fashion Perspectives In recent years, the topic of fashion and dress has exploded on the international academic stage. Australia has not been immune to this trend and the study of fashion and dress has proliferated across the country in many disciplines and fields of study. This issue pays tribute to the growth of fashion theory in Australia by presenting a range of perspectives on fashion and dress from Downunder. All but one of the contributors research fashion in Australia while the outrider, Alison Goodrum, has explored identities about nationalism and dress in her research on the marketing of British fashion in the global marketplace. The focus of this special issue is the distinctiveness of Australian fashion perspectives in contemporary research projects especially concerning the question of cultural identity and the place of fashion and dress Downunder in the global context. The papers were first presented at the Fashion and Dress in Unaustralia Workshop as part of the Cultural Studies of Australia Annual Conference, Unaustralia, held at the University of Canberra in December 2006. The theme of the conference drew on popular debates about national identity and, concomitantly about events and phenomena that were derided as being 'Unaustralian'. The fashion and dress workshop brought together fashion researchers exploring a range of topics: trends in fashion and dress in Australia; body-clothing relations; Australian fashion and dress in the global context; the politics of fashion and dress; and issues of design, production and consumption. Selected papers from the workshop presented here examine the resonance of cultural identity in Australian fashion, how it is represented, produced and marketed.
