INTERSECTIONS BETWEEN ART AND FASHION

During the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the
historical avant-gardes viewed fashion and art as one. As the gap
between the two disciplines has narrowed once again in the
contemporary moment, perhaps it is time to (re)address how this
relationship has shifted over the course of modernity. What is the
role of fashion in art and vice versa? How can the interaction between
art and fashion serve as a platform for critical play? These are some
of the questions that can be posed in extending the dialogue on the
fraught fashion-art relationship. This session seeks to trouble the
disciplinary boundaries between fashion and art in historical and
contemporary cultural production, scholarly research, and the museum,
and to posit its future.

Each proposed paper must include: name of individual submitting the
paper and their email contact, paper title; abstract (150-word
maximum); keywords; and a brief curriculum vitae (300-word maximum)
that specifies their rank and institutional affiliation (if
applicable).
