Fashion Theory Volume 13 Issue 2
The Journal of Dress, Body and Culture
Description:... This is a special issue of Fashion theory which covers African fashion. While African dress has been the topic of much research and popular fascination as an element of "traditional" African cultures, the work of professional African fashion designers in contemporary Africa has received very little attention. These four articles, accompanied by an introduction by the editor, address diverse aspects of both the creativity of changing dress styles in Africa today and, in one article, African influence on Western fashion design.
