> 
> Overview
> Fashion and dress are key ways in which any culture
> puts on an appearance -
> both for the benefit of its own members and for
> those beyond its boundaries.
> ‘Making an Appearance’ is a conference that opens
> up, for the first time in
> an Australian university setting, the subject of
> fashion for public debate
> and discussion. The event has three main purposes.
> Firstly to bring together
> academics in the fields of fashion, dress and
> consumption studies, as well
> as cultural theorists, historians and sociologists,
> to examine and critique
> its many meanings and implications, and to discuss
> the current state of the
> discipline. Secondly, Australia’s fashion industry
> is at an interesting
> point in respect of its growth and place within
> global markets. This has
> important implications for the study of dress. So
> the further expectation is
> that academics have the special opportunity to meet
> with industry
> practitioners and fashion professionals, thereby
> finding areas of common
> interest and points of intersection. The third
> purpose is to place a focus
> on fashion today. This means we wish to place some
> emphasis on the ways in
> which the cultures of youth, product branding,
> sport, the new technologies,
> customisation and subcultural style now drive
> fashion and its changes.
> 
> Papers
> We welcome papers that address issues outlined
> above. But we are especially
> interested in attracting as wide a range of topics,
> dealing with fashion and
> dress, as possible. This will allow us to spread out
> debate across all
> facets and aspects of contemporary fashion, dress
> and consumption. We are
> also happy to consider offers to organise panels of
> papers around a single
> topic. We hope to place some emphasis on:
> * Fashion, gender and urban life
> * Youth, branding and fashion
> * Body adornment, hairstyles and cosmetics
> * Cinema and stage dress
> * Dress and religion
> * Fashion and the culture industry
> * Fashion and sport
> * Cutting edge fashion and new technologies
> * Fashion and aesthetics
> * The fashion industry - representation and
> journalism
