Review
"We highly recommend the new issue of Fashion Theory, the academic journal edited by Dr Valerie Steele. The September issue, which arrived on our desk this morning, explores the increasing integration of fashion shows and performance art. There's also a fascinating exploration of early runway history, right back to the early 20th century." --Worth Global Style Network
