Critical Studies in Fashion and Beauty It is with great pleasure that Intellect announces the arrival of our latest journal, Critical Studies in Fashion and Beauty (http://bit.ly/bf3yf2). The inaugural volume of this hugely anticipated title includes contributions from Zygmunt Bauman, Ana Marta Gonzalez and the CEO of the Milan based trend research agency Future Concept Lab. Efrat Tseëlon¹s editorial, provides a critical perspective on the fashion studies field including issues of archiving and categorizing fashion artifacts and concepts. Articles are adorned with numerous colour images, adding to the design and the overall aesthetic qualities of the journal. Critical Studies in Fashion and Beauty joins the growing literature on fashion-related issues and is the first journal dedicated to the critical examination of the fashion system and the beauty system, with a focus on both objects and concepts. It aims to encompass a wide range of topics, from social theory to fashion theory. Issue 1.1 will be shortly followed by 1.2 creating special back-to-back issues that make up the first volume of this journal. Issue 2 will focus on identity and would include articles on Œmade in Italy¹, ŒRevisioning the kimono¹, digital identities, and the coming out of a Swedish diplomat.
