Summary

Special Issue on Fashion Curation.Exhibitions of fashion, textiles and dress in museums and galleries have grown inordinately over the last fifteen to twenty years. This special issue extends from the previous issue, Exhibitionism (Vol 12, Issue 1) to examine the considerations raised by teaching fashion curation as a discipline concerned with the cultural worth of dress on display.MA Fashion Curation at London College of Fashion (University of Arts London) was established in 2004 and this issue reflects the discourse generated from its programme and documents some of its initial projects.The special issue balances the practical and theoretical concerns of contemporary fashion curation and explores emerging cultural and commercial contexts for a practice informed by both academia and the museums and galleries sector.Indexed by the IBSS (International Bibliography of Social Sciences); the DAAI (Design and Applied Arts Index); ARTbibliographies Modern; Abstracts in Anthropology; the Anthropological Index Online (AIO) of the Royal Anthropological Institute of Great Britain and Ireland; Sociological abstracts; ISI Web of Science/Arts & Humanities Citation Index and ISI Current Contents Connect/Arts & Humanities (THOMSON); K.G.
