Feuds within fashion houses, megalomaniacs and photoshoot nightmares - fashion and drama have been a perfect match for decades. Over the past ten years, we have witnessed a boom of documentaries about fashion magazine editors, fashion and media politics and the history of fashion houses.
How and why did fashion documentaries and non-fiction media become so popular? Documenting Fashion explores and reassesses the role of documentary media by tracing its history in shaping our understanding of fashion across multiple platforms and different national contexts, including industrial films, newsreels, TV shows, documentary films, digital media and photography. The essays in this collection underpin and profile a scholarly space in which a dialogue between fashion and documentary studies can evolve by drawing from different methodologies and approaches, such as media and cultural studies, ethnography, archival and museum studies, gender studies, marketing and public relations.

Industry Reviews

An original, rich and timely compendium on the relationship between fashion and the documentary moving image that explores the topic from a variety of disciplines, from film and media studies to design, communication, history, and journalism. Documenting Fashion brings together contributions that compellingly illuminate the fundamental role of the non-fiction moving image in the theorization of fashion.

--Monica Titton, University of Applied Arts Vienna

This original and much needed volume fills a gap in scholarship and exposes the important contribution that fashion documentaries offer to our understanding of consumer and celebrity culture.

--Vicki Karaminas, Massey University New Zealand
