This special issue of Women\u2019s History Review<\/em> seeks to position women as makers, in addition to consumers of fashion. The trope of the frivolous fashionista is a common means by which
\nwomen are dismissed. But fashion is an economically and culturally powerful force. Far from passive consumers of dictated trends, women have mobilised fashion as a route towards financial freedom, self-expression, and political power. Women, throughout history, have shaped fashion.
\nThis special issue looks holistically at the myriad ways in which women have made fashion, both literally and conceptually. Manual labour within the clothing trades is routinely overlooked and
\nundervalued. While the skill of (male) tailors has generally been admired and prized, the sartorial hand work which is most associated with women\u2019s labour has been dismissed and cast as
\nunskilled. Similarly, the first fashion designers are often identified as men, and yet there is a long and nuanced history of women shaping fashions and setting trends. Articles are sought which
\nexplore women\u2019s sartorial labour at any point in history or geographical location. Sartorial labour is defined broadly, relating to any making work which is associated with the adornment of the
\nbody. Possible article topics might include women in relation to:
\n\u2022 Labour in the sartorial trades (milliners, seamstresses, mantua-makers, dressmakers etc.)
\n\u2022 Sartorial businesswomen
\n\u2022 The local and global transmission of women\u2019s garment-making skill and knowledge
\n\u2022 Fashion leaders and trend-setters
\n\u2022 \u2018Designers\u2019 of fashion (especially before Worth)
\n\u2022 Fashion activists
\n\u2022 Home sewing and the amateur making of fashion
\n\u2022 Fashion as a means of gaining independence
\n\u2022 Magazines and media<\/p>\n

\nArticles should be of 7,000 to 10,000 words. Further ‘Instructions for Authors’ can be found here. This link includes details about how to format your paper, and how to present referencing.
\nThe deadline for articles is 18th November 2024.<\/strong> In the first instance, they should be emailed to the Guest Editor, Dr Serena Dyer at serena.dyer@dmu.ac.uk<\/a>. Any queries should also be
\ndirected to serena.dyer@dmu.ac.uk<\/a>.<\/p>\n
