Abstract
Despite its relatively recent growth, the field of fashion studies is already known for its many transformations. This year’s College Art Association of America (CAA) Annual Conference featured an exciting new panel on the interdisciplinary nature of dress, entitled Who’s In and Who’s Out of Fashion (Studies)? Chaired by Sarah Scaturro, chief conservator at the Cleveland Museum of Art, and Ann Tartsinis, doctoral student at Stanford University’s Department of Art & Art History, the session addressed the question “Is there a correct or wrong way to do fashion studies?” and aimed to explore what is traditionally defined as “fashion studies” within the discipline. This panel review includes an introduction to the development of the field of fashion and dress, an overview of the topics and case studies presented during the session, and a question and answer session with the Co-Chairs of the panel.
