Costume is a scholarly, refereed publication presenting current research into contemporary and historic dress. The journal publishes articles from a broad chronological period and with a worldwide remit; it maintains a balance between practice and theory and concentrates on the social significance of dress. The journal also includes reviews and listings of new books, journal articles and exhibitions. Costume is a dress studies journal published on behalf of the Costume Society. It is now edited by Penelope Byrde and Verity Wilson with Christine Stevens as Reviews Editor. The team’s complementary expertise and experience as curators, writers and lecturers ensure a wide network of contacts throughout the diverse world of dress and textile studies. We are pleased to announce that from 2012 there will be two issues a year. Articles are welcomed from both established researchers and those new to the field. Papers published in Costume are sent out for peer review to ensure that they are of a high standard and make an original contribution to dress studies. |
