Fashion Curating
As the practice of fashion curation extends into commercial galleries, public and retail spaces, and even to the individual self, professional concepts of “curating” are undergoing rapid change. Today, everyone is seemingly able to “curate”, but where does this leave the traditional understanding of curation as clothing collected and displayed in a museum? This thought-provoking volume explores the practice of fashion curating in the 21st century, bridging the gap between methods of display and notions of “the curatorial” in fashion exhibitions, commercial settings, and the virtual world. From fashion’s earliest forays into the museum to creative collaborations between luxury fashion brands and artists, this book challenges understandings of fashion curation by drawing on the palpably new spaces, places, and actors in today’s curating scene. Exploring poetic and performative museum displays in venues such as the V&A, Somerset House, MoMu, and the Royal Ontario Museum, alongside the ways that brands such as Dior, Chanel, and Louis Vuitton have made use of “the curatorial” in their own commercial strategies, Fashion Curating asks pressing questions about controversial funding and collaboration from the commercial fashion sector, and the limitations of producing exhibitions that are at the same time critical and popular. Bringing together approaches from fashion curators, designers, and world-renowned academics, curation is positioned as a critical practice that opens up new ways of conceptualizing and theorizing fashion, challenging how we think and what we already know.

Women dressing women : a lineage of female fashion design
This elegantly designed volume, featuring all-new photography of more than 70 garments, celebrates the impact of fashions created by and for women - from unidentified dressmakers in 18th-century France to contemporary designers who are leading the direction of fashion today. 'Women Dressing Women' includes ensembles from French houses such as Vionnet, Schiaparelli, and Mad Carpentier; American makers like Ann Lowe, Claire McCardell, and Isabel Toledo; and contemporary designers including Rei Kawakubo, Iris van Herpen, Simone Rocha, and Anifa Mvuemba. The accompanying essays address notions of anonymity, visibility, agency, and omission, exploring how these concepts have impacted female designers, situating their creations in a larger social context, while an illustrated timeline visually traces connections between these celebrated women and their aesthetic sensibilities.

Sustainable Fashion Exhibitions: Shifting to an Inclusive and Interactive Approach in Sustainability Education
This article responds to a growing need for taking an intersectional approach to knowledge production of sustainable fashion, as cultural institutions have committed to the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals since 2015. It investigates to what extent museums in Western fashion capitals advocated for artists, designers, and fashion brands with circular design practice and social sustainability in mind. Adopting a design history approach, this article will compare two case studies: “Fashioned from Nature” (2018–2019) at the Victoria and Albert Museum and “Knowing Cotton Otherwise” (2022–2023) at the Fashion for Good Museum. These case studies are grounded in archival research, curators’ lived experiences, and formal interviews. The first section of the article analyzes the complicated relationships between sustainability policies, museums, and fashion. The second illuminates different curatorial strategies and the limitations in making those exhibitions. It investigates how curators attempt to incorporate detailed research into the contemporary history of sustainable fashion and reveal hidden stories. The last section discusses the shifting landscape of sustainable fashion represented in museums. Interactive learning programs are becoming a primary platform for engaging younger audiences. The article affirms that both the fashion industry and museums have recognized that passive looking is not enough; collectivity and a community mindset are needed to create tangible change.

Textile Pattern Design in Thermal Vision—A Study on Human Body Camouflage
This paper reports on a new approach to the creation process in fashion design as a result of the exploitation of thermal camouflage in the conceptualization of clothing. The thermal images’ main variation factors were obtained through the analysis of their color behavior in a (diurnal and nocturnal) outdoor beach environment, with the presence and absence of a dressed human body (through the use of a thermal imaging camera), such as the analysis of textile materials in a laboratory (simulating the captured outdoor atmospheric temperatures and those of the model’s skin using the climatic chamber and the thermal manikin). The combination of different patternmaking, sewing and printing techniques in textile materials, along with the study of the camouflage environment and the human body’s variation factors, as well as the introduction of biomimetic-inspired elements (chameleon’s skin), enabled the creation of a clothing design process with innovative de-sign elements which allow us to thermally camouflage the human body and take clothing beyond the visible spectrum in a functional and artistic way.
