The Costumer's Manifesto

The Costumer's Manifesto is written by Tara Maginnis, and proudly hosted by William Baker.

THE MANIFESTO IS MUTATING! IT IS TURNING INTO A WIKI THAT CAN BECOME THE HIVE MIND OF ALL COSTUMERS, FINALLY LIVING UP TO IT'S SLOGAN: "COSTUMERS OF THE WORLD, UNITE!" YOU CAN HELP IN THIS PROCESS BY MOVING PAGES TO THE NEW SITE AT THECOSTUMERSMANIFESTO.COM, HELPING TO EDIT THE PAGES THAT ARE THERE ALREADY, AND ADDING YOUR OWN ORIGINAL INPUT.

Fashion Theory Links

Recently, a new way of seeing the past and present of clothing around the world has emerged. Growing out of Post-Modernist and Post-Colonial Sociology, "Fashion Theory" as it has come to be called (after the scholarly journal of that name), expands on, contradicts, and re-imagines the traditional views of the history of fashion and dress left to us by pioneering theorists like James Laver, Georg Simmel, and others. Note: this page is not operated by or connected to the Berg Publishing house, or the journal Fashion Theory in any way. It is one of many links pages on The Costumer's Manifesto.
