<b>An anthology of the New Yorkbased journal <i>Fashion Projects</i>.</b><br><br><i>Fashion Projects</i> was founded in New York in 2005 as a zine. It gradually morphed into a larger journal straddling the academic and general interest worlds, with international distribution and an ardent readership. It served as a platform to highlight the importance of fashion within current critical discourses through long-form interviews with a range of curators, critics, artists, and designers. This book collects the best articles from the journal, most issues of which are now unavailable.<br><br> From exploring the rise of digital fashion media with Penny Martin (the founding editor-in-chief of <i>SHOWstudio</i>) to the continued importance of connoisseurship with Harold Koda (former curator-in-chief of the Mets Costume Institute), the anthology records the increasing centrality of fashion to contemporary critical discourse. The book is an index of a particular time within the fashion studies landscape and the attendant fields of fashion writing, fashion curation, and critical fashion practice during which the field witnessed a meteoric rise.<br>
