Journal overview

Fashion Practice is the first peer-reviewed academic journal to cover the full range of contemporary design and manufacture within the context of the fashion industry. Design processes and new technologies fuel the most vibrant areas of fashion practice and commerce today, yet they have been largely ignored by scholarship.


Fashion Practice fills this major gap by providing a much-needed forum for topics ranging from design theory to the impact of technology, economics and industry on fashion practice. Interdisciplinary and wide ranging, Fashion Practice addresses the entire business of fashion, including:

  • innovation in fashion design and practice
  • sustainability and ethics within the industry
  • micro- and nano-technologies within the fashion context
  • “smart” textiles and digital fashion
  • materials, design, concepts and process
  • fashion consumption and production from retail/e-tail to performance fashion
  • new developments in fashion and clothing retail


The journal encourages submissions from scholars and practitioners working specifically within fashion/apparel, design and business departments, as well as those working on the creative industries from a broad range of social science perspectives
